I think these naming guidelines from the Objective-C port of Rx were pretty sensible.

I had no idea Objective-C had Rx. Very Interesting guidelines. Especially for the side effects. Had not thought of that.

Not really sure where I stand yet on the hot vs cold naming convention.

But it can be relevant for a consumer to know what the observable he's subscribing to is: hot or cold.

hotObservable.toArray().subscribe() // will never finish due to the way toArray works.
coldObservable.toArray().subscribe() // will finish.

The consumer would have to use .take(n) on all his observables, in order to force them to complete, even when not required (such as cold observables).
