+1...

* Outside of Pharo, I've only ever know it be called a "window title". Never heard of "window label". �� A "label" would be for panes, tabs and widgets within the window.

* Historical context + implementor-count...

�� * StandardWindow>>title: ��~2006 �� +25-most-window-related

�� * StandardWindow>>title �� ~2006 �� +170 (most return constant strings - window related?)

�� * SystemWindow>>label �� ~1998 �� +370-many-unrelated-to-windows

�� * SystemWindow>>setLabel: �� ~2011 �� +1

* Not sure how useful it is, but I compiled a table for comparison

* Would need to consider the 8 methods of SystemWindow "label" protocol

* One random observation

�� EyeCollectionInspector>>title and EyeCollectionInspector-class>>label

Is this distinction necessary?

I started digging when I noticed that SystemWindow>>#label and #setLabel:
becomes StandardWindow>>#title and #title. Wouldn't it be better to just
push #title up if we like that API better? It's exhausting to manage all
these tiny (and possibly unnecessary) differences...
