About notations of swarm:
When I read swarm codes from swarm application examples coming with swarm 
package, I found some notations are really confusing me. Maybe somebody can 
give a 
good explanation why we should not change them to better notations. Here I just 
give one example:

In /swarmapp/tutorial/simpleObserverBug/observerSwarm.m:

a worldRaster object is created in the following codes:
worldRaster =[ZoomRaster create: [self getZone]];
....
....
[worldRaster pack]; 

and then a foodDisplay object is created in the following codes:
foodDisplay = [Value2Display createBegin: [self getZone]];
....
....
foodDisplay = [foodDisplay createEnd];

Why worldRaster's creation is beginning with "CREATE", and foodDisplay is
with "CREATEBEGIN"?  I would prefer the two notations can be unified, say 
using "CREATEBEGIN"? and also I would expect the worldRaster's creation 
ends with 
[worldRaster createEnd], just foodDisplay's creation does. To do this, 
library providers have to stick to predetermined notations, but I can not 
see there is any difficult to do that.
