    Umm…. I suppose this is somewhat subjective, but considering most methods in ruby that begin with is (but typically end in ?) return a boolean then I suppose I agree; make_spam! is better. I don’t really like the mutating methods though anyway…

    By convention I personally would name it to_spam!.
