Thanks!

Ok. Now for the "naming proposal"

I am going to suggst we vote on either:


   each_<type>

eg,  each_keyword or each_Seq

or

   get_<type>s

eg, get_keywords or get_Seqs

(notice plural) 

for methods returning an array of things.


After the vote, we will say that new modules should conform to this
convention, but Hilmar to decide if this is a 0.7 branch criteria
retrofitting (I would vote that it is *not* a 0.7 branch criteria)



My vote is for....


   get_<type>s

Your vote counts ;)
