Well, it looks like the voices we heard on this naming issue were
quite equally cast towards each of the 2 name.

Let my vote be to get back to "sink", so the user can easily pair
the command with "float". I expect that any previously-silent
majoity prefering "bury" will talk now, before Catalin decides if he
wants this patch in the next release :)

Well, my vote is still for "sink"! If it is to be called "stg bury",
I'd have to vote for changing "stg float" to "stg unearth". :-)

Just my 2.5 cents:

float/sink are clearly related, while I wouldn't associate float/bury
at all.  Also, "bury" is sometimes euphemistic for "kill", so
bury/resurrect is a clear pair.  Anyway, "sink" makes perfect sense to
me.
