Apparently SRN stands for "Square Root of Not", so they're not hiding
it too much.

is interesting.
I agree about generalisation. I think it's perfectly reasonable
to call such an operator the "square root of not" in context;
as long as you understand that by the same definition, adding
one is the "square root" of adding two ;-)
