I know the prefix comes from the authors name, but the NSSomething naming scheme was very unlucky already, KZSomething is even worse.

This is unfortunate for German, but not a big deal for most other-language speakers, I think. I could of course be off, but as an English-speaking American who's likely a bit more knowledgable about WWII than average, the unfortunateness of "NS" has never crossed my mind before and I'd have never even known about the issue with "KZ" if it hadn't been mentioned here.

Anyway, it seems an odd request to make of an apparently Polish person.

Take any unfortunate combination that rings a bell in the us and american people will have the same problem. Something slightly sexual and racy, especially.

Sure.

Upon review, I made it sound like you were suggesting that it should be changed; but you hadn't, and had only pointed out the contextual awkwardness. I apologize.

What makes it even worse is the name KZPlayground, for me personally stuff like that sends shivers down my spine, though I'm slightly biased (being Austrian, family history, etc.).

kz can thoug also be the TLD/country code for Kazakhstan, there are just a lot of ambiguities in all the human languages and product naming can be a real pain (some car-makers have some experience with especially bad naming :) )

Apology accepted. I wouldn't go into a lobby war because of that.

It is nothing fancy than run-time code injecting.Its not playground or not meant to be as playgound show each line output.It is runtime injecting you can do easily with tools out there for clang like dyci or code injector.You can run your app without compile this better defines code injecting.

The documentation clearly states that it uses dyci: "KZPlayground is powered by Dyci code injection tool". This project is doing what open source is intended for - it uses existing tools to build new things.
