Quite nice. One little nit is that it could be
interpreted as allowing oneself's updates, while
it is really about allowing other's updates.
allowOtherStorageUpdates? (not so nice, but... ;-)
Is there a preference for having the name indicate
that "we" are finishing our own transaction, ie
myStorageUpdatesAreNowComplete
endStorageUpdates
finishStorageUpdates
commitStorageUpdates
flushStorageUpdates
saveStorageUpdates
or should it indicate that "others" are now welcome
to do their stuff, such as in:
otherPagesStorageUpdatesAreNowWelcome
allow(Other)StorageUpdates
enable(Other)StorageUpdates
?
Best regards
Mike
