Okay, to summarize

  1) You think we should have this class,

  2) you agree that it is a Picard iteration,

  3) but you want it called something else

I have produced earlier citations than those calling partial linearization
Picard (which I think it flatly
wrong and historically blind). I will look for the original Picard citation.
