Comment (by Yuras):

 This terminology comes from
 [https://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch7.html#x14-1420007
 Haskell Report], so IMO the proposal should go through the
 [https://prime.haskell.org/wiki/Committee language committee].

 (Haskell is not math, so there is nothing wrong if haskell uses its own
 definitions)
