| Most singleton objects do not stand alone, but instead are associated with a class of the same name. The “singleton object of the same name” of a case class, mentioned above, is an example of this. When this happens, the singleton object is called the *companion object* of the class, and the class is called the *companion class* of the object. This is so common that it's safe to refer to singleton objects as “companion objects” informally, without much risk of confusion. |

I don't agree with this last sentence; it seems incorrect and misleading to me to call something a "companion object" unless it actually is one. Let's not encourage this.

@SethTisue I agree.

LGTM except for the one piece of feedback. @S11001001 if you agree and correct it, I'll merge. |

Thanks for the review @SethTisue! I'm going to pull this in and add a follow-up commit where I remove the last contentious sentence. That way this is in the docs without any further delay :) |
