Merci Gilou
disagree Tony M : The example you refer to does indeed happen to be a top-hat section; however, this suggested term describes the function, rather than the form; and in this context, we don't actually know what the function is, all we know is the form.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Again, this is only describing the function, not the form, which is clearly important here.
