Renaming newEmpty/newSize: to new &capacity:

[Lendvai Attila]

:: Hello,

:: This is a quick notification of a change, and a poll as to 
:: whether this 
:: suggested renaming has any objections - I am considering 
:: altering the 
:: collection protocol so that #newEmpty and #newSize: will 
:: just be keyword 
:: variations on a method #new, the keyword being "capacity" 
:: since size is a 
:: misnomer.
:: 
:: This has been under consideration for a long time, and we 
:: can keep the old 
:: methods in the image for another sub-point release for 
:: convenience, but it 
:: will require a full bootstrap and a ton of selector 
:: replacements in the 
:: source code (this is not hard, but can be a nuisance for 
:: contributors).

:: Any comments/suggestions?

I think Slate is currently in such a shape that this refactoring should
not cause any trouble for anyone (no mission critical systems depend on
it :). IMHO even after 1.0 such things should happen if necessary (with
the appropiate measure); people can either keep an old version or use
the in-image structured editor to rename all references (of course this
assumes we have such an editor... :)
