As this is largely unrelated to what names we choose to give things in

I agree that this is a noble goal. The good news is that LLVM's options are
implementation details that we control and can change freely. I don't
really care what the internal option is called, as long as the folks
hacking on the code understand it, and it is correctly used. =] It's also
not a problem to start with a poor name here and fix it later as we don't
build up any legacy with it.
