Actually I consider this a big misunderstanding in the current CARP
code..

In my view:

CARP siblings are other members of the same array.

CARP parents are another CARP array.

But as I have said a couple of times before, the so called CARP
implementation in Squid isn't CARP, it is only the hashing of CARP. A
lot of stuff is missing to make it a real CARP.
