I would
argue "solidus" is closer.
SOLIDUS is the Unicode name, too, as is REVERSE SOLIDUS, giving
SLASH and BACKSLASH as secondaries.
Finally we have clarity! From now on it's only (without shouting)
solidus and reverse solidus. No confusion any more, at least not for
those in the know.

What fun! Having disposed of # and / and \, anybody want to find other
obscure names for the other operators? Soon we could be as obscure as
Algol 68!
