I recall suggesting map:pipe in an earlier discussion because it
would confirm to "noun-verb" convention that already exists in the sitemap.


... the only problem being that also pipe is a noun, it does not mean "somebody who makes pipelines". Currently, generator is "somebody who generates", transformer is "somebody who transforms", etc.

But "pipe" noun does not describe an actor, "pipe" is passive... "Piper" could be better but it means "somebody who plays pipe"...

Yes generally "pipe" is a noun...but how about "to pipe something through"
in this context it would be a verb ....
... this will result in "pipe" (n) - "pipe" (v) pair ... we made a circle :)

So, options for the pair are:

pipeline - pipeline (existing)
pipe - pipeline
pipeline - pipe
processor - process
piper - pipe
...

Other suggestions?
