Same with me ...

the point is to make things more robust to beginners...

well we have at least "info methods";
i am trying to use the following terminology:
we have object specific methods
  - proc
  - forward
  - cmd
and class defined methods
  - instproc
  - instforward
  - instcmd (e.g "create" of Class, or "destroy" of Object).
when we call one of these, we have method invocations.
If we do not distinguish between these variants, "method" seems
the right term. "mymethod" is a little bit longer and not so crisp
as "myproc".

I have added "::xotcl::mymethod" and "::xotcl::myvar" to my
development version. i guess, you would you prefer to have
these exported. Opinions?
