Also, the name "nabla" would suggest that the component is designed
for calculating derivatives of vector functions.
The name "nabla" is also very close to "nambla" and I doubt the ASF
wants to be associated with that organization.
Nabla is also valid in several western languages as being the symbol used
for gradients and connections, a fundamental of any differential geometry
course.
I'm not saying that "nabla" isn't a perfectly valid name based on its
relation to the problem at hand (I was a math major and I vaguely
remember using that term in class). I'm just pointing out the
unfortunate coincidence that it resembles the name of an organization.
