When I originally named change outputs "drain" outputs I thought I was being clever because sometimes you use these kinds of outputs to drain value to things that are not technically change addresses. However the conversation over here led me to think about what you would do if you wanted to drain a bunch of funds to an output e.g. sweep a wallet or something and my conclusion was that you would actually not use the Drain system but rather:
Set an output whose value is above dust
Select all the things somehow
Set the value of the output to the excess
The main point being that "drain" system we have is really an optional output system to take excess otherwise known as change output or it is at least close enough it's unhelpful to name it something else.
