[PATCH v3 4/5] t: avoid "whitelist"

From
Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Jul 19, 2022, 18:32 UTC
Message-ID
<e08342f07d2d5268208f637ce229210a1d99f83b.1658255537.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1274.v3.git.1658255537.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The word "whitelist" has cultural implications that are not inclusive. Thankfully, it is not difficult to reword and avoid its use.

Focus on changes in the test scripts, since most of the changes are in comments and test names. The renamed test_allow_var helper is only used once inside the widely-used test_proto helper.
