Indeed a terrible name, please don't tell me this was chosen by
vote.
By the way currently is there any vote system for naming these

No. There are zero plans to break a ton of code by changing the

It's more likely that someone comes along with a new general
purpose library which hasn't seen much usage and thus can define
slightly better names.
