Over on lyx-users, we got a question that uncovered the fact that these

surprising results: a very stretched Table of Contents.) The line breaks
have more descriptive names. Is there something else we could use for
Page Break that would indicate what it does? Something like "Page Break
(Stretch Page)" would work, but is kind of long....

I'm no texpert, but I don't think page break (\newpage) necessarily
"stretches" the page in the sense of the problem raised on the user
list. That will depend on document class and context (e.g., table of
contents or title page v. generic text), won't it? So a name that
conveys stretching the page contents would be as misleading as a name
that did not convey that (maybe more so, given the relative frequency of
stretched v. unstretched pages).
