What should I call the set

def coborder {α} [TopologicalSpace α] (s : Set α) : Set α :=
(closure s \ s)

This is the largest set such that s is closed in, and s is locally closed iff this is open (which is what I need it for).
The current name is due to the fact that it is equal to b(S)\overline{b(\overline{S})}, with b(S)=SSb(S) = \partial S \cap S is the border in the sense of Hausdorff, but is there a more sensible name?

Do we not have this already?

Ah no, I was confusing with docs#exterior
