Does it really matter which synonym is used? They cite a 1992 PLDI paper that uses the term "replication". The term "tail duplication" is pretty well established from the VLIW compiler literate that tries to form longer traces of code for scheduling purposes. They probably already had a pass in HotSpot that used similar terminology for that reason.

  The best way to discuss compilers with people is probably to pick an active open source project in the specific area of your interest and have discussions with other contributors.
