Comment (by atagar):

 TL;DR: Trouble is the name collision with a term commonly used in our
 space. If you chose 'VecTor', 'SculpTor', or any other word not commonly
 used in our space this wouldn't be an issue. For ideas that keep your
 convention check 'grep "tor$" /usr/share/dict/words' - there's 1,595
 options.

 The trouble with 'DescripTor' is actually the same issue I ran into with
 'arm'. Confusion with the body part wasn't an issue, but the processor
 *was*. Any time 'arm' was discussed in #tor-dev it caused a moment of
 confusion where nobody knew which we were discussing.
