What is the significance of 656e63?

[uhthomas]

I noticed that json and yaml packages are imported as json656e63 or yaml656e63. Is there some significance behind this or is it just random, to prevent conflict with existing fields which may or may not be called json or yaml?

When you say you noticed the packages are imported as those names, where do you see that?

test.yaml

abc: "please see more info at: https://example.com/"

---

❯ cue import -R test.yaml

import yaml656e63 "encoding/yaml"

abc: yaml656e63.Marshal(_cue_abc)
let _cue_abc = {
	"please see more info at": "https://example.com/"
}

My guess (without looking at the code) it's that 656e63 is the first value in a pseudo-random sequence, used as a suffix for the identifier yaml to rename the import of encoding/yaml so that it cannot possibly clash with other fields.
