That goes well with the equivalently-functioning "tube", and also fits the ability to be inserted into a hollow stud. And the common feature of tubes and posts is, of course, to provide clutch by gripping the spaces between studs, while secondarily allowing an offset construction by inserting a stud into a tube, or a post into a stud.

"Post" feels like a good term for this - it has an architectural context for "holding stuff up" and is complementary to Tube.  Thanks for the suggestion!
