\section{Names}
\label{names}

You have probably heard the term *floating object* or *float* for short.
That is mainly what this package is about.
However, I intended to avoid the term *floating* in the name of this package because this package also allows
to globally disable the floating of those objects.
Therefore I decided to name this package *objects*.

This name, however, has been rejected by \TeX\ Live as being too generic.
And they are right, especially for people with an object oriented programming background that name might be misleading.
\TeX\ Live has informed me that floating objects are still called floats even if they are technically not floating.
Therefore I have decided to rename this package to *easyfloats*.

I have *not* changed the user interface because the package has already been online for more than half a year on my gitlab repository and I don't know how many people are using the package already.
Therefore all commands and environments defined by this package still carry the old name *object* in them.
