Here a duplicate posting of several messages from the emacs-devel list so the
request doesn't get lost thereq. Should the project
decide to approve this and choose which to alias, I could do the
coding...

From: Boruch Baum <boruch_baum@gmx.com>
To: Emacs-Devel List <emacs-devel@gnu.org>
Subject: name-space consistency
User-Agent: NeoMutt/20180716

Slightly apropos the current thread opening discussion of things that
could be done for emacs v28...

Here's an example of an annoying and persistently vexing name-space
inconsistency: to highlight based upon a regexp in a buffer, one uses
functions from package hi-lock (that a lower-case 'i', not an 'ell') and
to highlight the current line within a buffer one uses functions from
package hl-line (that's an 'ell', not a lower-case 'i').

Unless you use both often (or have a memory superior to mine), you're
bound to mis-type hl-lock or hi-line.

Would the project consider aliasing and deprecating one of those
name-spaces? Or breaking backward-compatibility and just refactoring
one?

There didn't seem to be much enthusiasm for this, and it seems to me
it'd be a lot of code churn for little gain.  So I'm closing this bug
report.
