Considering that you switched DGD back to "Dworkin's Game Driver" from
"Dworkin's Generic Driver" I think that DGD's history as an LPC driver has
plenty of validity as a support for the term "callout", and I find it not
one bit odd at all for DGD to inherit generic MUD terminology such as this.
 Similar to the terms "efun" and "lfun", dgd offers "afun" and "kfun" as
jargon as well.

Other drivers use the term "callout" as well, so it does fit quite well on
grounds of tradition if nothing else.

I see no problem at all.
