terminology: instance vs member vs non-static

[uvtc]

For consistency in the manual, which is the official term to use throughout: member method or instance method? (Or, is "method" shorthand for "member method"?)

Also, the manual says "non-static" in some places. Which is preferred, instance or non-static?

[Simn]

What we have at the moment:

• instance vs. static
• variable vs. function
• method = instance function
• field = variable + function

An exception are constructors which are somewhere between instance and static.

Another problem is that we have final now which can't really be a variable... I think it would be common to use "field" for variable + final, but we already use it differently, so I'm not sure.

Should the manual consistently call them

• "instance fields, which are instance variables and methods", or
• "member fields, which are member variables and methods"?

And then, it sounds like occurrences of the term "non-static" in the text should probably be changed to either "instance" or "member", correct?

Also, and aside, I understand that Haxe has both:

• methods (either instance or static) as well as
• functions (local, and now/soon (as of 4.2) module-level).
