The problem is that a relation may be one to one, one to many,
many to one or many to many. In each name, the first word refers
to upper source multiplicity and the last word to the upper target
multiplicity.
So according to me RelatedToOne has not the same meaning than
OneRelatedTo or ToMany.
I am not sure that you want to describe the source
multiplicity, so ToOne and ToMany seem more adapted. In Java
persistance is specified with the @OneToOne, @OneToMany,
@ManyToOne and @ManyToMany annotations.

Could someone explain why the "ToOne" and
"ToMany" are the preferred semantics for the class
names versus OneRelatedTo�or RelatedToOne ?
To me, "ToOne" feels like its describing�the
#directedMovies part.
I guess it makes sense if you are looking in
towards #director.�

Thanks! I will add the associations as
examples to Pharo4 (today I think)
