Isn't escapetool a bit too long? I'd drop the tool part where the remaining name does not cause conflicts, so that we would have: $escape $escapeUtils $alternator $iterator $sort $math $arrayUtils $booleanUtils $numberUtils $stringUtils $wordUtils $dateUtils $dateFormatUtils $durationFormatUtils $randomStringUtils $randomNumberUtils
