It is named corfu-popup because it's older than Popon.  Actually Popon
was extracted from corfu-popup to allow other packages to use it, as
different popup implementation don't work together (and trying do so
will break both, and the buffer contents will probably be at risk too).
There is already a package named popup.el, so I named my package Popon,
but I didn't change the name of corfu-popup.  I wrote flymake-popon
later, so I included "popon" in the name.  I think this shouldn't be a
problem for submission, but if it is a problem, I have no problem
changing the name.

But, now it seems to me that name is misleading, because child frame and
Popon both are some type of popup.  So I have changed the name to
corfu-terminal (which Corfu author suggested me) to make it's purpose
clear.
