Yes, I was confused.  Easily done :)

Still - is there a way of passing / using a name instead of an operationId 
to the client sdk generator ? Or is that a feature that the client sdk will 
have to cater for ?

If there isn't a way, if I were to add a "x-method-name" property to the 
swagger spec file for that operation and modify the client sdk to use the 
value of *x-method-name *if it existed, would that be the most appropriate 
way ?

thanks
