One man's cargo cult is another man's namespace management.  Every
existing use of _<service> names is behind a _<proto> name, and there
seems to me considerable merit to keep it that way, at the trivial
cost of a possibly uninteresting _tcp or _udp in the name.  If the
extra five bytes is an issue, I suppose we could use _c rather than
_client for the client tag.

While saving five characters was a big deal when I was programming
PDP-8's almost 50 years ago, I don't get it now.

R's,
John
