[Solar-talk] Rename "form" helper?

Hi all --

A lot of my controllers use $form as a Solar_Form object that gets  
assigned to the view.  This leads to things like ...

     echo $this->form($this->form);

... in the view scripts, which is a little confusing.  Technically  
you can use a different name than "form" for your variable, but  
"form" seems to be a common convention and it makes sense by itself.

With that in mind, perhaps the helper ought to be renamed (maybe  
"$this->quickForm(...)").

Any thoughts on this?
