Customer vs Company

Ok, I need to get GnuCash to the point I can have my wife use it for her 
business.  But I know how open-source works, so rather than making demands, 
I'm offering to make patches. :)

But I need some things clarified, so let's start with this one:

Customer vs Company. Which is it?

The "Customer Report" requires you to select a "Company"
The "New Customer" dialog asks for a "Customer Number" and a "Company Name"
"Customer Search" wants a "Company Name"

This confusion appears to be everywhere.  It really looks to me like the right 
word is "Customer", _not_ "Company".  (Many customers are individuals, not 
companies.)

Any objections to a patch to fix that?
