"Structures" are NOT "objects" and there therefore is a good reason for
not
retaining the procedural nomenclature; neither are "procedures"
"methods",
just because on the surface they appear to be similar.

A horse is not a camel, despite both of them having a leg at each corner
and
being used for transport.


Technically, there is very little difference between an earthworm, a
frog and a human (except for what theBible has to say about morphology
and anatomy). Camels and horses are virtually identical.

However, "virtually" is NOT identical.

Try not watering a horse for 6 weeks and see how long it lasts.

Try riding a horse over sand dunes for weeks on end and see how long it
lasts or the distance it covers, compared to a camel.

Try making turkish delight out of camel hooves...

Differences are important, (sometimes even critical...)

And THAT was my point.

Pete.
