Actually I think the original word "slot" might be more accurate.
If I have to change "slot" to something I would use "binding" in this case.
See #24149

Sure, binding is fine. Slot is just very old terminology, the only uses in this sense remaining are weird old corners of trans inside the compiler. In the docs it's a dead term, sticks out.

…labnik This just deletes some egregious lies and obsolete terminology -- all of which I originally wrote -- from the reference. I expect the reference itself will be deleted soon enough, but I found myself gritting teeth over these bits too much to let them into a 1.0 release.
