pike terminology: method or function?

hi,

when reading through our documentation i observed an inconsistency in our terminology: which is the preffered term?

the module tree reference and the reference manual seem to use function, however the beginners tutorial uses method, and claims in http://pike.ida.liu.se/docs/tutorial/methods/

Most programming languages allow you to divide your program into smaller parts. These can be called ßub-routines", "procedures", "functions" or "methods". In Pike, we use the term "method".

i believe this is simply not true, as far as i remember we have always used the term function, and the name of the respective keyword strongly suggests that we should stick with that.

comments?
