The sequence "hl" is easy to type but recalling its function after not
using it a while takes effort. Seeing "Hl-Line mode enabled in
current buffer" also takes effort to read.
In the spirit of "display-line-numbers-mode" can "highlight-line-mode"
be the full expansion for feedback and the expansion to "hl"?
Steps to reproduce
. start "emacs -Q"
. type three lines of "q"
. on the middle line type "M-x hl" and TAB to use the completion
An improvement from my point of view
. on the middle line type "hl" and TAB to use the completion
. the completion expands what was "hl-line-mode" to "highlight-line-mode"

We could consider renaming hl-line-mode to highlight-line-mode, I guess?
Anybody have any opinions?
But I don't think completing hl to highlight-line-mode would make much
sense, even if it was possible, because nobody would be typing `M-x hl
TAB' in the first place without knowing that the mode was called
`hl-line-mode'.

When I have my muddled together emacs configuration not running
from "emacs -Q" the following shows
M-x hl
hl-line-mode
hi-lock-mode
holiday-list
...
true, I don't use "M-x hl TAB" but "M-x hl C-j" to take the option
at top of the listing. I think more sense is gained from
M-x hl
highlight-line-mode
...

We cannot rename such a veteran mode. But we can add an alias.

I was thinking of renaming it and adding hl-line-mode as an alias.

Also, with emacs customized the way that works for me, the following
happens to "M-x hl TAB"
M-x hl TAB
[listing changes unexpectedly]
M-x h-l
flush-lines
LaTeX-math-lg
LaTeX-math-ll
...
What triggered me to file this bug is this chicken and egg problem.
I want to activate "highlight line" mode but my short term memory at
the finger tips has forgotten "hl" at the "M-x hl C-j". So I go
typing "M-x highlight" but the generated listing doesn't fetch the
unavailable "hl-line-mode" which I very much prefer to see as
"highlight-line-mode".
