Better name about tox-extra HOT 3 CLOSED

I am open to suggestions. I do not want to call it tox-git or tox-dirty-status because I am looking to use it for doing multiple unrelated checks before and after running tests. Naming it tox-checks would be even more confusing than tox-strict.

tox --help | grep strict did not return anything. Do you plan to add some kind of --strict mode to it in the future and that is why you want to avoid the confusion? That would be a good reason to find an alternative name.

Few more ideas:

• tox-ine - "is not enough" ;)
• tox-dictator
• tox-extra

Mostly because strict does not tell you what it does. Maybe keep it tox-opinionated-ssbarnea 👍🏻 Ultimately many of these strict modes are opinionated checks. E.g. I'd not add tox-dirty-status feature into tox-strict... Because would make it impossible to run tox without committing, which I always do. Or some envs e.g. apply formatting on the code, where, by design, I do not want this functionality.

The whole point of this plugin is to combine various simple checks and avoid the additional maintenance burden or having tons of small plugins.

Most or these features are triggered only when needed and I plan to make them even optional if needed.

• dirty-status : used only when .git exists
• bindep run only when bindep.txt config file exists
• (planned) auto-wipe folders based on configured list of folders

I think that tox-extra will describe it better than tox-strict, as it adds some features that are not generic enough for core.
