Description

Compute function's naming convention should be "standardized" for the C++ API and the CallFunction string name. There are inconsistencies between the name used and its form (short vs. long form). This is not a trivial task because existing software tools/languages (SQL, numpy, R, C++, etc.) use different function names.
