Hi, Mark.

Thanks for your explanation.  That is really confusing.

I agree that it's too late to change the names, but have you considered
adding new names?  That way, things could be more clear for new
development that doesn't need to be backward compatible.  It could also
make the documentation clearer since, for old names that are poor, you
could refer to the new names they map to.

To make new names, you could append the digit '2' to the names:
connect2, disconnect2, connectDevice2, etc.  Or you could add the words
'to' or 'from' to the names: connectTo, disconnectFrom, connectToDevice,
etc.  Or you could change the vocabulary to words like "bind", "attach",
etc.  Or there are probably other good schemes.
