Comment (by jrf):

 @johnbillion I've looked through the patch. While I agree with the
 principle of improving the consistency of the parameter names, I find the
 current proposal even more confusing.

 To me a "filter" or "action" refers to the ''hook name'', not to the
 callback function hooked into that hook.

 What about calling things by what they are ? `$tag` becomes `$hook_name`
 and the callback function hooked into it becomes `$callback` or
 `$callback_function`.

 What do think ?
