This renaming of `bookmark-name-from-full-record' to
`bookmark-name-from-record' by Karl on 2010-12-08 saves 5 chars at each
occurrence but breaks any 3rd-party code that uses
`bookmark-name-from-full-record'.

Please at least provide an alias and an obsolescence declaration.
This kind of thing seems like a trivial change to you, perhaps,
but Emacs Dev isn't in a vacuum.
 
Thx.

Adjust parameter names and doc strings to resolve confusion over
whether "bookmark" meant a bookmark name or a bookmark record.
Along the way, shorten one function's name for similar reasons.
 
(Issue #7548)
 
* lisp/bookmark.el
  (bookmark-name-from-record):
    New name for `bookmark-name-from-full-record'.  All callers changed.

My apologies -- I should have left a forwarding alias at least (or just
not made that change).  I will fix it ASAP.  Thanks for letting me know!
