Now, that only introduces more confusion! If there is another tool rename, better choose names which are virgins. Besides, I am still not convinced that the rename is necessary. Granted, some new users might get confused with the current naming, but what about those who are not? They would be confused by the new naming. And if you want unambiguous names, and even succeed in choosing sensible ones, you can make them hardwired aliases, and old habits don't have to die.
