PeakAndSplice is a nickname of a project (or a set of features). It does 
not mean "peak and then splice". It kind of means "code that supports 
peek, splice, and bump actions".

Initial SslBump implementation did not support those actions. Then we 
had a separate/followup PeekAndSplice project that added support for 
those actions.

Overall SslBump code quality is terrible. Poorly chosen names and many 
misleading comments are not the worst bits, but they certainly do not help.
