I was going to make the same argument, but you beat me to it. 

"String" and "Substring" are both terms of art. (That's why there's no adjective form of "string", which makes naming the protocol difficult.) And they're probably the most widely-used terms of art in programming. "Substring" is inconsistent with other parts of the language, but for a good reason. 

Keep it.
