    recommend the use of `newConfig()` instead of `configure()`. (#1163)

+### Interface Type
+
+To allow other developers to better comprehend the code, it is important
+to ensure it is sufficiently documented. One simple measure that contributes
+to this aim is self-documenting by naming method parameters. Therefore,
+where appropriate, methods of every exported interface type should have
+their parameters appropriately named.
