I think we should bite the bullet and introduce new defvars with
properly prefixed names, as was done for `e'. We can have a transition
period during which the diary binds both the new variables and the old
ones, then eliminate the old ones in (say) Emacs 25. Any third party
code that wants backward compatibility with old Emacs versions can check
if the new variables are bound, and use them first.
