Great idea, thanks.

I emailed the two authors asking them if they coined the terms or not.
If they did, we should credit them.

I borrowed the terms from here:

Sure! I just couldn't use the terms because I wanted to allow users to
inject arbitrary implementation. I'll add BlackHole and WhiteHole
soon.
Ah, I wonder why I couldn't think of alias!
I googled whitehole and blackhole and couldn't find any association
with
programming. Is the terminology correct? Are we inventing terms?
Probably we are inventing terms.
I read a slideshow uploaded by Andrei which introduced "black holes"
and "white holes" as models of auto-implemented classes. I borrowed the
idea from there, so I'm following the original terminology.
Indeed, the terms are a bit too astronomy. And there should be more
descriptions in the doc if these terms are used. But I'm not sure how to
describe this... The mentioned slodeshow file seems already deleted,
and I have no local copy.
