I suspect most of the non-users will stay non-users, until the
thing is renamed to something more sensible.
The name gives a false impression that this is a special-purpose
data structure that is meant to handle pathnames very well
(e.g. canonicalizing "foo//../bar" to "bar" before doing
comparsion) but in reality it does not do anything like that,
and is a general purpose "table keyed with string" mechanism.
The wholesale renaming, if we were to do so, should happen when
things are quiet, and this is probably not a good time for it.
