I kind of agree with Stefan's point, though in my case the first meaning
that came to mind was "reason"[0].  As the package is useful, it would
be a shame for people not to miss is because of the name.

Intuitively, I would say it should make a reference towards narrowing
and page/section navigation.  Maybe also that it is useful for
presenting?  I can't come up with a good name right now either.
