Nice! Noted.
People have actually been very good about device names over the
years.  Deliberate collisions seem rare. (except for /P, but the
bitbanger port has never gotten any respect. *)  If the Glenside IDE
drivers ever escape "beta" the /T "test" descriptors should go away.
It's not like they're needed.
*Plus, since Drivewire ties up the hardware you couldn't have
 bitbanger /P and drivewire at the same time, anyway!
I know I'm still missing some devices, though.  Maybe this will jar
some memories loose.
