I proposed "Secondary" because it matched "doc/README.gpt"; and it is 
often called "secondary GPT" (for example: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table)
However, the UEFI Specifaction (Version 2.3.1, Errata A) calls it 
"backup GPT" 18 times, and "alternate GPT" once (and never calls it 
"secondary GPT")....
