It was a bad choice indeed :) but I didn't mean anything about the coding
style but about what the fuction does. It was meant to be read as:
"keep_signal_low" since the function puts (RTS/DTR) UART "line" to low.

Would "keep_signal_low" be clear and representative of what the function does?

Indeed!
