-----------------------------------------------------------
Being a coder and a user is two different things in my opinion.
As it is we would have to define shard in the code - it's ambiguous - and you
are already fighting with preconceived notions of it's definition. In the code,
slice is not ambiguous and calls for reading the definition of it in javadoc.
It's been around for some time now, and there has been no large outcry.
I'm fine with changing these API's for real gains, but I don't find this a gain
given the current discussion, so I don't think the disruption in the rename is
worth it at all.
