Configuration management has basically defined a meaning for
configuration, so it would be good if Gradle could be consistent with

If a classpath is a classpath, then why not call it a classpath?

I wonder why Ivy chose the terms it did?  Understanding their rationale
might help in sorting out what they got wrong.
