useRoute or useRouteData

Since v7.9.4 we have unstable_useRoute, but have we considered calling it useRouteData instead?

What it does is basically bundle loaderData and actionData and nothing more, so calling it with Data seems clearer and better for consistency, while leaving room for the catch-all useRoute for the future, whatever that could be.

Someone already raised this before. As Pedro Cattori states here, they're planning to add type-safe handle (and maybe others). So the data label wouldn’t be appropriate.

Ah, didn't see that — makes sense if we plan to add more stuff like handle!
