Maybe we could go the way of VObjects and call them VComponents, though that is
a bit cumbersome-- they're

I'm still not convinced that "Component" is a good replacement term.
When I hear "Component" I usually think of somet
Well, we don't want to take on all the baggage that other "Component systems"
have.
But then again, we're just talking about naming a class here, not the whole
system.

True, but it's not used very often in software (IME at least).
Component does imply that it could be provided by a plugin module, and
is dynamic, both of which are attributes of MetaO
"Part" is even more generic/vague than component, I think. "Subparts"
might be slightly better. Another way to look at it, which would be
clearest:
vobject->getParts();
vobject->getSubparts();
vobject->getFacets();
vobject->getRoles();
vobject->getTypes(); // very bad, the term "type" is alrea
I guess it's a Decorator pattern, which other people might be familiar with
from the
Design Patterns books, so could be named after that. Though it's an unfortunate
name, calling MetaObjects "Decorations" would kind of trivialize them :) I
wonder where they came up with that name.

Component is generic, and also recalls COM etc.
How about:
Part
Facet
Role
Type
Fragment
Trait
What exactly *is* a metaobject? It's a constituent Vobject that's part of a
real Vobject, and which implements a facet or part of that Vobject, probably
corresponding to a type. It implements part o

Really? The term "Component" is a horribly diffuse one that can
basically mean almost anything. The most clear use I known of

I was thinking of renaming "MetaObject" to "Component". Same concept,
just a name that reflects a more standard usage. Also "metaobject" is
an existing term of art in the programming language community having to
do with defining and manipulating the semantics of how programming
