In an email exchange between Gregory Maxwell and Peter Todd, they discuss the naming of a flag that allows for signatures to be replayable. Todd suggests that the current name, SIGHASH_REUSE_VULNERABLE, is not descriptive enough. Maxwell agrees and suggests that the vulnerability of signature reuse extends beyond just identity omission. He suggests adding a suffix or prefix to the term SIGHASH_NOINPUT to better describe the potential dangers of reusing signatures. The suffix or prefix would likely use Rust terminology.
