I would suggest keeping all three 'a-', 'ar-', 'arc-' as aliases for the
same function (we could keep the 'a-' as the default as it is the shortest
to type). This is because I have seen all three versions being used across
Computer Science and Mathematics, and restricting anyone of them would be
fricas also uses atanh (and yes, I agree that the a- prefix would be better
than arc- and ar-)

atanh, etc., i.e. just "a-"-prefix is well in line with the tradition of
Fortran libraries,
as well as C libm's.
It's "arctanh" in the NIST Digital Library of Mathematica
Mathematica, Maple, and numpy all use "arctanh"; MATLAB uses "atanh". It's
"arctanh" in the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions as well:

It is the case that "ar-" prefix is the current ISO standard, and per the
Wikipedia talk page the "ar-" prefix is more
I'd be in favor of the change (keeping arc- as an alias, of course). It is
not a good experience to explain in the course how the function is defined,
and then see sage print it wrong.

In terms of the missions statement, apparently we aren't the only ones, so
consistency might be more important in any
case: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ArcTanh.html
Note e.g. sympy uses atanh as the
"ordinary":
https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/functions/elementary.html#atan
Note that Sage also provides aliases with `a-`
(the display is still with `arc-`):
```
sage: asinh, acosh, atanh, acoth, asech, acsch
(arcsinh, arccosh, arctanh, arccoth, arcsech, arccsch)
```
