Renamed methods to be createVerb-er form in r1.15 of Overview.html

However, this proposal highlights the original motivation for "simple" verbs such as "encrypt". The question as to what the correct spelling is - createEncrypter vs createEncryptor (both of which can be seen as valid spellings) - is something that will likely trip up more developers than .encrypt() may have.

This action is postponed after the FPWD.
