I have got an other impression.

The terse description can trigger disagreements about the "what" and "why",
can't it?

This identifier might be good enough to some degree.
I imagined that it would become better by the addition of a bit of information
from the jump target.

This is true in principle.

But your adjustment for the document "CodingStyle" supported also a reconsideration
of the corresponding identifier selection.

Some developers disagreed with a proposed renaming while others reacted
in a positive way.
