I used them not yet so often but since I'm using more and more commands
without key-bindings (which is painful when you already know which
command you want) I'm going to use them for

- debug-on-entry (d-on-)
- debbugs-gnu-bugs (d-g-b)
- re-builder (re-b)
- eval-buffer (e-bu)
- log-edit-insert-changelog (l-e-i-c)

But the descriptive names remain available, it's just when you know what
you want you are empowered to type it faster, aren't you?  Hmm, I should
have reported that I'm using icomplete-mode, of course, this mode feels
so natural that I'm already took it for granted, sorry!  With (setq
icomplete-mode t) you can see both the full descriptive names and the
abbreviation.

Have a nice day
