Comment (by teor):

 I think the scope of this ticket might be too big.

 Let's try to tackle it in a few different parts:

 * Use the same abbreviations for
   * module names (we might already do this)
   * source file names (we might already do this, but I bet there are a few
 exceptions)
   * functions used outside their module
   * functions in header files
   * other functions

 I don't know if we can enforce or automate these changes.

 I don't know how important this ticket is. Maybe we could decide to do
 other things for this sponsor.
