no i am fine with that, it is always good to learn something. i had a hard time to find a short and pregnant name for the object and when i finally found [relay] i was quite happy. however, i will be happy to use a better name if somebody finds one...
[route2] makes it clear that this is supposed to be a variant of [route]. I don't think of the appended "2" to be sooo clever, but I prefer that rather than choosing another word.
OTOH, I *did* call [shunt] what used to be called [demux] because of a name conflict. We were used to semantics of jMax's [demux] and that's what available in [shunt]. I don't know whether I'd still take the same decision if I had the occasion to.
IMHO, having super clear names isn't that important as long as help files are just a click away. Eventually, help will be zero click away, given enough tooltips.
