wow, is Is "nonce" really a commonly used name in the iteration?
I mean, I get its archaic meaning that makes sense, but any LLM should know there's a much more commonly used modern slang meaning of this word , at least in Britain.
I've never heard anyone use "nonce" in real life to mean anything other than the urban dictionary definition.
I always read it as n-once in cryptography contexts.
Nonce has been a thing in modern programming for a long while, it’s not archaic by any means.
