[Cuis-dev] Renaming several fundamental Morph classes

Wed Jan 5 12:12:30 PST 2022

I second Mariano's request!

I don't really know what should I do to fix my packages.

Related to that, please check an email I sent a couple of days ago

I believe that would make the life of all of us who want to improve Cuis a
little easier when this kind of change happens.

Best,
Nico PM
