naming of functions

[andrewpbray]

Mmm, I have a slight preference to keep them united under generate(), because it underlines the idea that there are all ways to generate more data. I could be convinced otherwise, though, if others feel strongly.

I'd also prefer to keep it all the same. I think there is benefit to being able to keep names of steps the same. Otherwise I feel like we would spend a lot of energy explaining the differences (so people learn to use the right one) and I'm not sure that's the main thing we want to emphasize. Do others agree?

[andrewpbray]

That's a good point. As long as they always use those save 3 verbs, they should be in decent shape; we'll be able to hopefully write sufficient error messages within each to coax them into doing the right thing.
