Wish: Change rosetta FUZZY admin column name for more descriptive.

Long story short:
Column fuzzy is a nightmare to explain to someone who never used this tool.
it collides with fuzzy string matching which confuses devs who think string like '*login_error' will work for de_login_error, en_login_error, general_login_error etc.
Translators does not understand what fuzzy means in this context, and misuse or don't use at all.
Everybody around seems confused,, about it's fuzzy meaning and behaviour. Anything more descriptive as work-in-progress, incomplete or whatever naming is more precise would appear AT LEAST on admin side.
Well, for starters "fuzzy" is the official term used by gettext so changing it something else would confuse those users that do know what the term means in this context.
What would you suggest we used instead?
I'm fine with just admin column name as:
incomplete / fuzzy
fuzzy translation
hidden / unused
as any name shown inside CMS. Even if we make slightly longer to be a little more descriptive than single word it will help more non-technical people to understand what is the meaning and how it can be used.
Maybe tooltip or something can be used, I'm open to any ideas.
BTW. very useful tool 👍
I added a tooltip, thanks for bringing this up.
