It's called "forced" because the people who made it up mostly drive hybrids, which come with engine auto stop, but which don't shut off off under all conditions (thus some drivers were forcing it with the key).
Thanks! Then it is a form of EOC, just an even fancier term when done with non-hybrid cars.
Now back to CODFISH driving (basically the same thing, is it not?). Sorry for the interruption!
