Hey,
I just went thru a bunch of interfaces and noticed a good pattern in wording. I propose to make this part of the style guide:
rewind - go back to the beginning of a chunk of data (used in: textfile, binfile, msgfile, etc.)
reset - clear the data from a container; or, go back to the initial state (used in: zexy/index, cyclone/MouseState, maxlib, etc.)
"reset" should not be confused with "clear"... what about open vs. read vs. load? marius.
