For example I just learned that openBackground is sent only for groups with backgroundBehavior set to true, so it belongs with the first concept of background.so there IS a RunRev specific reason to use the the "background" concept.I think the double "the" typo is significant. I think we run into trouble in thinking of "the" background concept. There seems to be two, even though both seem to have a basis in history. There is background in the sense of backgroundBehaviour and background in the sense of thinking of groups belonging to the stack. The backgroundbehaviour path modification, automatic placement and backgroundNames() are related to the first concept. The rest of the uses of the word "background" seem to be related to the second, though there may be a few for the first concept that I missed.
I wonder if there are more.
