Fellow Bucardoans,

As I make my way through the 5.0 docs, adding and removing stuff as 
appropriate, I'm thinking now might be a good time to replace two cutesy terms, 
"goat" and "herd". My suggestion:

• Change "goat" to "relation". This allows it to implicitly cover views and 
foreign tables, too.

• Change "herd" to "relgroup"

I find these terms much easier to decipher, as they say exactly what they are. 
Plus "relgroup" nicely corresponds to the existing "dbgroup" term.

I'm thinking all the docs would be updated, but the internal code and database 
can keep the cute names for compatibility's sake. And "goat" and "herd" would 
still be supported in all commands so that people's scripts and finger-memory 
don't stop working.

Thoughts?

Best,

David
