[Mono-osx] MonoMac naming conventions

[Duane Wandless]

I'd like to suggest keeping to the naming convention of the obj-c classes.
For example the MonoMac binding for NSArray.objectAtIndex has been changed
to ValueAt.  The main reason not to change the names is for documentation.
I can look up what NSArray objectAtIndex does on the web very easily.  But I
have to perform a translation of ValueAt to get to objectAtIndex.  Yes this
example is trivial but the argument holds up as more of the core libraries
are bound.

I want my obj-c counterparts to be able to read the C# MonoMac code with as
much ease as possible.  If selectors have subtle name changes the
maintainability of the code is actually reduced.  The obj-c coder knows what
to do with objectAtIndex but must 'learn' what ValueAt does.  Yes again this
is a trivial example but the concept is valid.

Ideally I could take obj-c code and do a line by line translation.  There
may be better ways to write the code in C# MonoMac but the rewrite should
not require function name changes.

Thanks

Another example is: NSURLConnection.  This was changed to NSUrlConnection.
