[Bf-taskforce25] Python API: naming suggestion

Hello,

This is not related to the 2.5 project, sorry for that, but I don't know 
where to post such message. Please tell if there is a "suggestions box" 
somewhere, so I will write there the next time.

I would like to suggest a renaming of the 'BONESPACE' dictionary entry 
for data such as Bone.head, or Bone.matrix in the Python API. I think it 
would be more explicit to rename it to 'PARENTSPACE'.

'BONESPACE' evokes the bone local space coordinate, it is not.

In the API documentation one can read:
" 'BONESPACE' - the head position in relation to itself."

I found this description very confusing. Because the head position is 
always at (0,0,0) in the bone local space.

I would write this description as followed:

" 'PARENTSPACE' - the head position in relation to its parent tail"

Thanks,
Eric
