Synopsis: Suggestion - Explain Homonyms in the warning dialog
Description
In the Feature view of th Context window, clicking the Homonyms button displays a dialog, "Extracting the homonyms may take a long time." I saw this months ago, when I first did the Guided Tour, but I've never actually run it until today and I was never quite sure what it would do. Today I was reading the on-line help for the Feature view, where I read, "The homonyms view displays all the features in the system which have the same name as the current feature." My suggestion is to include this information in the warning dialog by rewording it as follows: "This displays all the features in the system which have the same name as the current feature. Extracting the homonyms may take a long time." I think this wording would have helped me to learn this part of EiffelStudio months ago.
