[Sugar-devel] Naming of "sugar", the Sugar Shell

[Wade Brainerd]

That sounds good to me.
I realize the whole sucrose / fructose / starch thing has become a consensus
but to me, not really knowing the scientific relationships between those
words, they might as well have been named sugar-layer-0, sugar-layer-1, etc.

Cheers,
Wade
