    I think the Cocoa convention would give your examples the following semmantics (ignoring the BOOL type for the argument, obviously):

    -(void) doSomethingWithAnimation:(BOOL)animated 

    would actually expect an Animation as the parameter (i.e. something that represents the animation.

    -(void) doSomething:(BOOL)animated 

    would expect the Something to do.

    -(void) doSomethingAnimated:(BOOL)animated 

    would, as Noah answered, do something with optional animation.
