I've already slapped JMM's wrists over the naming (;^p) and volunteered to
make the name changes in the CCGen.  Changeset forthcoming, when it
bubbles to the top of my "to-do" list...  (Right now it's number 3 on the
list, after the Unix-related changes to VMM for TPR and getting the Unix
VM to run as a Safari plugin.  Only snag is the latter may turn out to
have unbounded complexity.  Maybe I'll swap them.  ;)
