I'd rather rename pgreedy into peager, since it's the least used.

Well, actually our dmda is not yet a real heft, as it does not order
tasks by priority before scheduling them, only after. It could rather
be called mcs (minimum completion time), but as soon as we have a
scheduling window, we'll be able to do the ordering before scheduling.
So I'd say keeping heft as an alias for now. We'd have to discussion
with theoreticians, but I'm afraid there might not be really nicer
theoretical names to classify dm, dmda, dmdas, etc.
