[route2] makes it clear that this is supposed to be a variant of [route].
I don't think of the appended "2" to be sooo clever, but I prefer that
rather than choosing another word.
OTOH, I *did* call [shunt] what used to be called [demux] because of a
name conflict. We were used to semantics of jMax's [demux] and that's what
available in [shunt]. I don't know whether I'd still take the same
decision if I had the occasion to.
IMHO, having super clear names isn't that important as long as help files
are just a click away. Eventually, help will be zero click away, given
enough tooltips.
