The main reason the discussion even went that way is because instead of 
acknowledging that the user's scenario is valid and the request is 
reasonable (that code completion and describe-function's completion will 
work easier and faster if function names are more predictable), you 
responded with the recommendations to "just use manual".

Whereas the manual provides a different workflow and doesn't cover all 
cases. For instance, it only covers the functions in the core. Maybe not 
even all of them. Whereas the aforementioned features work uniformly for 
all functions, no matter where defined or by whom.
