I think I'd want to see some data about that. Specifically, I know
several places where there are very-long-prefixed-class-INSTANCE
families, and I'd want to know whether these are "rare". I suspect
not, I think that's a pretty common practice in naming families of
manifest constants.
OTOH, Customize already generally strips group prefixes. That might
be enough here, it may not often matter because abbreviation is rare.
