Fragmentation terminology

Rainer:

If we keep the syslog fragmentation feature in -protocol, can we change
its name to something that can't be confused with IP fragments.
Otherwise, I think it can creates confusion when one talks about syslog
message fragments.  "Segments" I think is also a term that is already
commonly used in TCP.

Maybe "multi-part" message and "message part" instead?  I need a way to
refer to those pieces in -transport hopefully without having to explain
what kind of fragment I am referring to.

Thanks,
Anton.
