#61 Confusing API - HtmlForm

[Daniel Gredler]

HtmlForm has the following methods:

getInputByName()
getInputByValue()
getInputsByValue()
getAllInputsByName()

It took me forever to find getAllInputsByName() because
of the extra "all" in the name, I was expecting
getInputsByName(). I'm sure this happens all the time...

Which form should we be using? I can see the usefulness of
getThingsByXXXX() since it will appear in your IDE next to
the other methods but getAllThingsByXXXX() is more explicit.
The former seems to be used more than the latter but there
are a few of each throughout the code.

As you say, I've seen the mixture throughout the code.
Objectively, consistency one way or the other would be
ideal. Subjectively, I prefer getThingsByXXX( ) rather than
getAllThingsByXXX( ) for two reasons:

1. The methods will show up together in the IDE (as you
   point out).
2. A getThingsByXXX( ) method logically has to return all
   Things that match the specified parameter, so the "All" in
   the method name seems superfluous.

I changed the one you wanted and a few others but I left
DomNode.getAllHtmlChildElements() because I really don't
know what else to call it :)
