Righto.  I am going to post a proposal and call for discussion for the
renaming in a day or two.  I thought it might be possible to do it
forthwith, as a "bug fix" rather than a "feature enhancement", but I
got so little mail about the original proposal (3 in favor, 1 neutral
but confused) that I guess it should just go to a vote like other
stuff.
