Mixed metaphors #9

Closed dchackett closed 6 years ago

In the code/forthcoming documentation, we need to more cleanly separate where we talk about taxis/dispatchers/dispatches, and where we talk about forests/trees/etc. Currently, metaphor use is inconsistent and confusing.

As an example, "forest files" should be called "dispatches" or "dispatch files". The tools (which are really ad-hoc and maybe shouldn't be made public in anything resembling their present form) should thus take "--dispatch" instead of "--forest".
