We need some term that starts with “s”, to maintain the connection with
/dev/pts and ptsname (and maybe others).  So far, I've come up with
“surface”, because that's where terminal data is written and read.  It
certainly seems more descriptive than “slave”.  But perhaps there is a
better alternative.

Florian
