Fixed.

For ease of use and convention with Rails.

In that case, I think we should _also_ support flashScope. Otherwise it looks like we made a mistake to non-Rails developers.

I agree. Why the heck are we catering to Rails developers? Sure, Rails presented an idea, but it doesn't mean we have to use the same name. Should we call JPA ActiveRecord? (I'm not saying they are the same, it's just a point). flashScope is the right name IMO.
