Here’s a quicky question. Which method name makes the most sense for an Objective-C Cocoa application?
-(void) doSomethingWithAnimation:(BOOL)animated
or:
-(void) doSomething:(BOOL)animated
or even:
-(void) doSomethingAnimated:(BOOL)animated

I think the Cocoa convention would give your examples the following semmantics (ignoring the BOOL type for the argument, obviously):
would actually expect an Animation as the parameter (i.e. something that represents the animation.
would expect the Something to do.
would, as Noah answered, do something with optional animation.
