I'd agree. In principle, where bricks do have obvious uses you'd need
to keep that use in the name for simplicity.
After all, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some exotic uses
for wheels, but is anyone seriously going to suggest that we don't call
them wheels in case anyone ever uses them for anything different?
