I'm new to Processing, and I find it's sketch naming rules to be too restrictive and quite frustrating. i.e. Sketch names cannot start with a number, cannot have any whitespaces or special characters in it. Is there a reason for the restriction, or is it completely arbitrary?
I'm trying to follow exercises from a book, and I prefer to name my sketches "<exercise number> <sketch name>". But Processing keeps generating a folder with an underscore prefix and a weird looking name (underscores replacing every whitespace and non-alphanumeric character), and that is extremely annoying. I probably wouldn't mind it as much if only the .pde files were named that way, but the folders?! Can't it at least let the folders be named as I name them?
