I thought one-word labels would make references easier to read and write.
Especially because the analytical names are made up of similar parts -
I wanted to avoid issues like people typoing NTS for NTP and vice-versa.

There used to be even more more risk of such typos before I replaced
"-C" with "-client" and "-S" with "-server".
