If this target is to go anywhere, let's try to define it as 'undoing'
the existing dm-stripe target using primary terminology, field names
etc. as close as possible to our existing target.  We can still mention
any alternative terminology encountered in the documentation.  The
first (simplest) documented example could be a dm-stripe target being
'unstriped'.
