My question is more about PIN::NAME than PIN::NUMBER. I fully understand PIN::NUMBER. My motivation is to keep only what is needed, and make sure that which is kept is identified most appropriately. So I am asking for a 3 sentence education on pin names, that is all. To me a name is a very exact description, so if this PIN member is really just a comment, maybe that is all the education I need. Basically, the question is, how is the pin name used? If it turns out to be only a description, I might suggest we call it "description". I am not in a position to drive change, until I am in a position of knowledge. Thanks for the help (I know grepping the code would tell me the same thing), but this saves a little time.
