String:inform is exactly the same as String:postln, and there isn't any real pattern in the class library for when to use inform instead of postln. This commit replaces all instances of inform with postln in anticipation of deprecating inform.

Fine! Before we merge more changes to the Server, could we decide on what to do with #2422 ? I've spent endless time maintaining it and fixing the merge conflicts now …

Understood, I'm going to tag as WIP so it doesn't get merged until then.

A search in downloaded-quarks finds 71 .sc files with ".inform".
Maybe deprecating inform will create more noise / annoyance for users
than the benefit of having one less method alias?

i don't know, but you're right that this is found in a lot of quarks. Maybe we can just make it a documentation issue -- replace it with postln in the core library and discourage it in the help files, but not deprecate
