I don't disagree, but is it so bad that it's worth changing the name?
That's all I'm saying, the bar has to be very high in order to require a
name change.
In general, changing the name of something without any added benefit
(aside from the benefit of clarity) needs a very strong case to make
that change. You are breaking code for no benefit to someone who
doesn't care about the name. As the standard library we have to be
super sensitive to these cases.
How about consistency? We don't want to look like PHP here.
It's great that we have a review queue, DIP's and pull request. But we
still have all the existing code that was there before which we need to
deal with.
