It's a good list to discuss it, but maybe not the best for getting
stuff changed.

Personally I'm 100% with you, I like how you've changed it to the
colloquial easy name, but kept the technical name for anyone looking
for it. Best of both worlds.

In terms of getting it patched, lots of us here (including me) can
commit that change - but it's polite to ask the original author before
patching other people's projects.
I've CC'd the original author, and another developer who also
contributed a lot to the Samba KIO according to the git log. I'm not
sure how active they are, this code hasn't been touched in a long
time.

If no-one objects then I'll submit Maarten's change.
