Nah, not funny enough. Just enough for a chuckle.

In fact, "Toes the string" is a running gag with the guys at work ;-)

Very common methods like "ToString()" or "Equals()" will be handled in a more intelligent way in a future version.

Regarding "AlreadyScheduled": This is a case where a rule *would* be possible, but a different naming of the method could even be better; I'd call it "IsAlreadyScheduled()". One advantage: If you have several methods that check a state, you'll find them all in one place when using intellisense. Another advantage: GhostDoc knows how to handle methods starting with "Is..." or "Has..." ;-)

Thanks Roland, I figured I could have made the architecure better, but I'm just documenting and don't want to change the code base.

Good to see "Toes the string" is a gag for you as well :)

My favorite is still "Ons the Init". I spend a lot of time oning my init.
