Defined in:

Overview

Card's names can be changed, and therefore names should not be directly mentioned in code, lest a name change break the application. Instead, a Card that needs specific code manipulations should be given a Codename, a unique string identifier that will not change even if the card's name does.

The Codename class provides a fast cache for this slow-changing data. Every process maintains a complete cache that is not frequently reset

Generally speaking, codenames are represented by Symbols, names are Strings, and ids are Integers.
