While [route2] is not a good name, I don't think [relay] makes sense there either.
WordNet (r) 2.0 relay n 1: the act of relaying something 2: electrical device such that current flowing through it in one circuit can switch on and off a current in a second circuit [syn: {electrical relay}] v 1: pass along; "Please relay the news to the villagers"
that is what i exactly what i head in mind: i thought "relaying the news to the villager" is like "pass the message to the object without modifying it"; however i english is not my primary language.
relaying doesn't have any branches, relaying is just from one thing to another (from "me" to the "villagers").
relaying: () -> ()
routing: /-->() ()-|--->() -->()
Hope this wasn't too pedantic, I was just trying to be clear.
.hc
2: control or operate by relay
"route" is a perfect word for the concept, so I say add a descriptor to the word route.
i tried to avoid [route_without_strip]...
