[Grok-dev] Naming of grok.provides

[Sebastian Ware]

:) My confusion acctually has to do with the grok.provides()  
directive, which I find difficult to relate to the providedBy() method.

I don't understand why I use grok.provides for an adapter and  
interface.implements on an object. Then I use providedBy to check if  
the object belongs to a class that implements... in the docstring it  
does say something like implementedBy(MyClass) and  
providedBy(MyObject) so I think I get how I am supposed to use it (it  
works anyway), but it is really related the grok.provides directive I  
am struggeling.
