I’m in agreement with what Ricardo is saying here:

> let p = someFont.glyphWithName("propellor”)

To be more specific, this example looks good to me:
a.transitionToScene(.GreatHall)               // yes

but this one:
let p = someFont.glyph("propellor")           // yes

somehow doesn’t.  Maybe because it reads more like subscripting a dictionary.  As a result, I think this second example kind of detracts from this section of the guidelines.
