Dear Mike and everyone else,

As you may know, mike_m recently added elm_object_label_set/get API and 
elm_object_text_set/get macros as a generic way to set/get text for 
elementary widgets. Not all the widgets are supported yet, but some are.

I like this change a lot as it makes the API smaller, nicer, more 
consistent and easier to remember.

Currently, elm_object_label_get accepts two parameters, the object, and 
the "part" in that object. So for example one would call:
elm_object_label_get(some_label, "default") for getting the default 
string of the label.

I'm sending this mail because I disagree with Mike's choice of naming. 
He chose elm_object_label_set/get because in most cases we are setting 
labels, but since we also support setting entries, this name is just not 
good enough.

I suggest renaming elm_object_label_set/get to 
elm_object_text_part_set/get or something similar which is, in my pov, 
better suiting than the former since we are using it to set/get more 
than just labels.

What do you guys think? Should I rename them to 
elm_object_text_part_set/get?

Thanks,
Tom.

P.S, again, thanks a lot to mike for doing this awesome change.
