display() function name

The examples using display() in Mover, Particle, Vehicle, etc. I believe display() is a keyword in JavaScript in some contexts, I'm thinking of changing this to show(). render() is also a possibility but has such a technical sound to it.
@shiffman - oh! I didn't realize this. I know that display is a property of DOM elements - https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_style_display.asp - but AFAIK it isn't a function. Is this what you're referring to?
I avoid render() as it is a function name to render jsx in react. Likely this won't be a point of confusion for NOC readers, but maybe worth considering.
show() would be fine for me, though display() is my first choice.
Let's stick with display(), I have this memory of code editors syntax highlighting display() but I'm not seeing this happen with anything I'm currently using so I think I'm maybe imagining things!
