I agree. At the time, I couldn't think of a good naming convention that
was intuitive, so I went with a something close to mozillas (to replace
mozilla interface some day....). I think that this is something
different, and probably always will be. I would vote for changing it to
"tree" metaphore, seeing as that is what it's function mostly is (the
magic format...).
