I can’t help wondering if there’s a general guideline we can apply here where if there’s a strong case for a verb then refactor as a command and if there isn’t then use a function and leverage the implied verb in the statement. I think there may be an exception with a function that returns a mutated form of the first parameter though (arrayEncode, baseConvert etc), however, they could have easily been commands…
