API Inconsistencies like this drive me crazy!
What metaphor are we using? Parent/Child? Superclass/Subclass?
Apparently the answer is "Yes".
To get the EOEntity that myEntity inherits from you call myEOEntity.parent()
Okay, Fine. We're using the Parent/Child metaphor.
To get the EOEntities that inherit from myEntity you call myEntity.subEntities().
Wait. Whaaa??? WTF. Really? Two sides of one structure and you can't use the same metaphor?
I tells ya, it makes me almost want to get up out of my rocking chair and dope-slap someone.
But of course any impact that might have would be quickly erased by the simultaneous groveling hero-worship of the people who have made my coding life so easy that mixed metaphors piss me off.
