naming things misc

Package named might be shortened to "flow", not taken on CRAN and we might extend to show flows of R scripts or Rmd files.

Then current view_flow becomes flow_view, and additionally we have :

• flow_code : outputs nomnoml code
• flow_png : output picture at given url, if no url given, output to temp file and open using browseURL()
• flow_run : will run the function through the flow, on failure it will show the state of the graph at failure and returns invisibly a list of environments copying the frame content at failure (use sys.calls() and sys.frames()
• flow_debug : we move block by block in the chart (not clear yet what happens in the console) and all code is evaluated in the right environment, on failure is just like flow_run.

Ultimately the technology doesn't have to be nomnoml, it can be an option among others, and technology specific parameters will be passed through dots

done, more or less along these lines. We still need to rename the package and code flow_run (we'll leave out flow_debug for now), but closing as the "naming things" part is handled.
