After reading through some of the React Native docs I was left wondering where the term 'vend' comes from. Can anyone elucidate the etymology of 'vend' or whether the word could benefit from a more expansive definition than the procedural one given in the docs (this one is from the React Native iOS docs):
Vending a view is simple:
- Create the basic subclass.
- Add the RCT_EXPORT_MODULE() marker macro.
- Implement the -(UIView *)view method
