Well there was a very long discussion about this on clp, but I guess
dictators don't listen to ordinary folk. I guess the common fate of
dictators is that the masses eventually catch up with them in surprising
ways.

Siphon seems quite a good name in terms of the etymology and rhyme. If
all new decisions on module name have to be referred to google it'll be
a bit limiting.

Feel free to post an alternate and then we can submit it to google.
