I don't have a strong opinion against long-style names except that
there will be some very long names to accommodate some often-used
constructions. If nobody minds

cone.spanned_lattice_dual_quotient_by_spanned_lattice_dual_basis(supercone)

then I'll be happy to change things. Right now its
cone.M_quotient_basis(supercone) which, I agree, is not as self-
explanatory. But then, this is not something that you are dying to
compute on a normal day.

I'd prefer longer names in general. The tab completion should help reduce excessive typing, whilst the longer name makes it clearer what it is (or it would to a mathematician - it means nothing to me personally)
