I realise after everything I said that I forgot to link to Emacs coding
conventions in my initial post:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Coding-Conventions.html
"You should choose a short word to distinguish your program from other Lisp
programs. The names of all global symbols in your program, that is the
names of variables, constants, and functions, should begin with that chosen
prefix. Separate the prefix from the rest of the name with a hyphen, ‘-’.
This practice helps avoid name conflicts, since all global variables in
Emacs Lisp share the same name space, and all functions share another name
space1. Use two hyphens to separate prefix and name if the symbol is not
meant to be used by other packages."
I'm sorry if I missexpressed or wasn't clear enough: I don't want to rename
the world. I just think the emacs API would be more clear if it was better
namespaced, and that many tools would benefit from it. To better namespace
it I proposed to add aliases.
What to alias, when, where and how is all up to discussion.
Kind regards,
Philippe
