I've received a suggestion to add functionality for a Beaufort cipher[1] to my
vigenere.el package. A Beaufort cipher uses almost exactly the same algorithm
as a Vigenere cipher, with some small changes. The differences are small
enough that I can modify vigenere.el to handle a Beaufort cipher with only a
few lines changed.
Prefixing the Beaufort functions with "vigenere-" seems confusing to users, so
would it be acceptable to prefix them with "beaufort-"?
