How so? The purpose is only to provide an unambiguous textual clue that
the symbol will be transformed by the Lisp reader into another symbol.
With your examples (in the manual), the author or user of
some-nice-string-utils.el would use
;; elisp-shorthands: (("snu" . "some-nice-string-utils-"))
(without the final dash) in its local variables, and the chosen symbol
(after thinking a bit more about this, I think "::" which was suggested
earlier is better than "@") between snu and the function/variable names
throughout the file.
That would also make the task of standard tools like tags or grep easier.

So in the end we would have something that very much resembles nameless.el
(a prefix defined in local variables, and using font lock to "visually
annotate" that prefix) without its benefits (not breaking any of the
standard tools and allowing anyone to choose whether and how they want to
use that feature)?
