some style needed to be suggested, and what Jean proposed is better than what 
we have today (which is nothing)

that's why i said "should", deprecated current naming, and noted existing 
practice.  if you agree with the proposal, it's easy enough to run sed on a 
few files to fix one function name.  you agree with my comment that today's 
behavior is confusing even if you stare and bang on the code day in and day 
out ?  it's even worse for the occasional observer ...
