Yup. This is the bike world. Where a thread-on steel block with a freewheel mechanism inside is a "freewheel" but that term no longer applies if you put the freewheel mechanism inside the hub. (If then becomes a "cassette" hub. If you call it a "freewheel hub" you will be corrected even if you are differentiating it from a fix gear hub.)

Good thing is that my ti bike has no FD mount so it has to run clamped and cannot be saddled with braze-ons. (Also good in that being a 31.8 OD seattube. I could use an asymmetrical shim, a 34.0 (I think that is right) clamp and bring the FD further inboard to achieve good shifting with a triple using a crankset setup to a low Q-factor.
