Sample and Example are the two words that most clearly capture the intent. The problem with using #sample to return instances and #example to illustrate usage is that it's a bit too subtle. Even though technically one could argue the logic of that distinction, in reality English speakers use them interchangeably and it will be confusing. A core principle of Smalltalk is to type a bit more to make things clearer (e.g. avoid single-character/abbreviated variable names). I strongly feel we should be more specific and uniform by either using (<exampleInstance> & <exampleCode>) or (<sampleInstance> & <sampleCode>). <sample> for example instances <demo> for examples opening a window or any other interaction ?
I like this one. +1. Cheers, Offray
