Not bad. Last time I used apropos was some years ago on on a solaris system - I dont think its well used these days. But if it can be highlighted in the docs enough, it will certainly help.
I would look at it as a separate issue to implementing hierarchal naming. Downside would be ensuring all utilities have this keyword and spreading the word.
