Rethinking "garage door opener"

[HactarCE]

Existing roots & affixes that are relevant:

• -tfr- garage door opener
• -př ACS access point
  • degree 7 = "controlled 2-way access point into and out of X, valve-like access point into/out of X"
  • other degrees may be better-suited (although none specifically says "door")

(How is there no root for "door"? IMO we shouldn't need to use MDF₂/3 to get such a fundamental concept that is useful for deriving so many other things.)

It's really clunky to have a root for "garage door opener," but no root for "garage" or "garage door." We can do much better.

First, we can express "garage" as a room for cars, ideally using some new affix with a degree meaning "room designated for X." I'm not sure what to do with the rest of this affix. Perhaps we could repurpose the root -tfr- to simply mean "garage," or cope with using an incorporated root.

Once we have "garage", "garage"-ACS₂/7 pretty unambiguously means "big garage door" (as opposed to a pedestrian garage door, which would probably be ACS₁/7)

See #19 for a proposal that gives us the "remote for controlling X" part of the semantics. Given a word meaning "garage," when then only need two affixes to get to "garage door opener," which feels great.
