The question (here) is whether it is more helpful or more of a hindrance to use
the same name for such different things.  Using "cut" emphasizes the similarity,
which helps users find this feature (discovery) - e.g. in the doc.  Using "kill"
or "froobarb" emphasizes the difference, which helps users not to suppose too
much wrt "cutting" behavior.

It's a choice.  Your saying that it is a non-issue signifies only that you've
made your choice.
