Me too! It is now clear that these objects are all releated.

"snake~ in", "snake~ out"

Actually, I would prefer [snake~ pack] and [snake~ unpack] because for me the meaning of "in" and "out" is ambigious. "pack" and "unpack", on the other hand, are pretty obvious.

Alternatively, we might just as well use [mc~ pack], [mc~ unpack], [mc~ split], etc. to save some keystrokes :-)

Yes, join/split would be translatable, whereas translating "snake" can be slippery. I do think it is amusing, btw, and slides nicely next to sigmund~ and moses.

In any case, I am really liking now that "snake~" feels like an object family, that refers to the kind of signal, and you can say things like "snake~ in", "snake~ out", or even "snake~ split", "snake~ join" ,
or further, "snake~ rotate/flip", "snake~ encode/decode"

    OK... now I'm hesitating between "snake~ in", "snake~ out" and
    "snake~ tap"
    or "join~", "split~", and "tap~"...

    Former is more colorful (and crowds the namespace less). Latter
    might be
    easier for non-native English speakers to deal with?
