-1. The PEP has had an extensive review period and several alternatives were discussed and rejected. These names are clear, they do match, and as Fred says the * namespace has lots of room.

Also, the PEP was accepted with these names. Now, if it was accepted with a major flaw or some semantics left unspecified, I'd be happy to discuss repairs; but there's nothing broken about this part of the PEP, so I say enough is enough (and none of the proposals sound good to me anyway so I'd be -1 even if the PEP was still under discussion).
