Consider alternative wording to "master/detail" #1386

Description

Several examples here as well as in dsp-demo use the word master.

It probably should change to "summary/detail" to be more clear that there is no enforced command/hierarchy relationship between the panes, and also in order to remove the potential racially charged connotations for American English readers.

    While I agree with the possible negative connotation, "master/detail" is a very established name for this pattern, so it's not entirely unproblematic to call it something else.

    Closing as part of a personal cleanup of projects I'm no longer involved in. This does not imply that the underlying issue has been resolved.
