I’d contend CPHP hasn’t been named for 15 years as it has had no name for the implementation
itself.
Regardless, I’m going to start using CPHP myself and hope it catches on. Though short of adopting
a name for the implementation officially (even if it’s just a “nickname”), this problem will
continue to exist, and people will keep having to add contract-style definitions to the start of
documents explaining what the term they’ve invented to refer to the original implementation means.
