[Insight-developers] Renaming frenzy

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

I am used to seeing these routines referred to as IterativeSmoothing techniques rather than as
"Recursive".

The "Recursive" term on these classes standed for the fact
of implementing IIR filters. "Iterative" suggest more that
they use an algorithms that makes several passes.

In any case, what is important is to make the distintion with
filters that apply a convolution with a truncated gaussian.
