My main point with the name is usability. The name should convey
at least something about the named object to an unprepared reader --
this is an important rule both in programming and interface design.
So yes, 'code hints', 'analytics' -- anything suggested in this thread
is better than 'figures'.
(Not 'statistics', however, which, by the way, would be another
interesting feature)
