[Bf-funboard] Reorganising the EditButtons

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Interesting doc:
www.alias.com/eng/products-services/ maya/file/3dmax_to_maya.pdf

Maya says 'merge', we say 'remove doubles', 3dmax says 'weld'. I bet  
other programs have its terminology as well. Here personal taste,  
opinions and conventions play roles.

This is the reason why a thorough renaming process is hard, doubtful,  
and almost impossible to find a cross-program compliance for.

There were good reasons for a lot of uncommon names in Blender. I  
currently just don't have time to go over all of it. Or explain why it  
was 'OSA' and not 'Antialiasing'.

If you look at the open issues of the entire funboard agenda, including  
the UI project, we have loadsof things we work at. Shouldn't we  
prioritize?
