And the good thing is that it doesn't matter most of the time anyway,
due to the unique-abbreviation feature.  Anyway, in general I am
opposed to arbitrary renaming: either you break backward compatibility
with scripts and old documentation, or you are forced to maintain
scores of synonyms that are likely to be confusing to the beginner.
