Isnt "gimplify" clear to everyone? :-) I've even been referring to an

Yes, but only when we are coming from the FE. In the optimizers,
calling into "gimplify" may be a bit dissonant, since they are
thinking about generating new gimple. At any rate, I don't mind
keeping the term. We have certainly grown used to it. I'm mostly
thinking about newcomers here.
Longer term... the BE will not be calling into gimplify at all.. it will
be purely a front end thing. As direct tree access vanishes, the
optimizers will be forced to generate gimple directly, as they should.
