I need to create two versions of a function, a suspendable one and a non-suspendable one, I want to make it explicit in the name which one is or isn't suspendable. What you would be a good antonym of "suspendable"? I could write mySuspendableFunction but what would be the name of the other function? myNonSuspendableFunction seems a bit too verbose.

Or maybe should I go with myAsyncFunction and mySyncFunction? But those `async`/`sync` words are never used in Kotlin's terminology.

Blocking is the convention for a non-suspending variation of a function. Usually, we also just name the suspending function without highlighting that it is suspending, because the type system takes care of that

[Johann Pardanaud]

what would you do in case of invocable classes? The type system doesn't help here:

class BlockingClass {
    operator fun invoke(): Unit = TODO()
}

class SuspendableClass {
    suspend operator fun invoke(): Unit = TODO()
}

I would call it Class and BlockingClass,
