Just as a perspective: the note head engraver is unusual as it
produces multiple note heads per time step.    The Dots engraver
produces grobs, each of which represent multiple dot symbol and is
hence called the Dots grob.

It's not that I am not opposing a rename, but perhaps you could devote
some documentation lines somewhere to these details, so people will
not be tripped by other details (eg. when they write \override Dot
#'...).
