Well, if "accept" is technically correct, that means that "reject" is a
(technically)  incorrect description of  what happens... which is why we can't
use _that_ in the name.

Change tracking semantics are not under the hood. They are the mental model we
are teaching users about - through the naming of commands, the experimentation
with their effects, the Help and so on. If we introduce technically-incorrect
notions into users' minds, we'll keep them jumbled instead of helping sort
things out.

But with  - because of the tricky nature of this particular command, I would
again like us to consider the third alternative, or set of alternatives:

* "Invert suggestion"
* "Invert change"
* "Flip to reversion"
* "Invert"

these may seem less intuitive to many. But - that is not a bad thing, because:

* It relates this command has a complex nature
* It prevents misunderstading I (nothing "technically incorrect")
* It prevents misunderstading II (since you are unlikely to make a wrong guess
about what it does)
* It indicates the "self-inverting" nature of the command, i.e. it clarifies
that if you apply it twice it is as though you never applied it at all.
