I agree that the names aren't very enlightening, but I think it's a bit
late to change them.
Why do you think so? Few people know this terminology anyway,
so it seems to me we have little to lose by changing it.

I doubt we'll be able to find names that are better enough
to justify the hassle of changing them. But that's only
my hunch: I won't oppose a change just for the sake of it.

I think the renamings just proposed are good ones.
We should make those changes, if nobody suggests better ones.

I didn't bother to reply to that part of his message, but I didn't
find them too hot. I'll have to check the original message again.
