Thanks, I wasn't aware of \prettyref support :)
For my purposes this fits the bill, as the commands seem to be effectively
interchangeable and only really differ in how the formatting is determined.
Well, except for a possibility to make \cref automatically capitalize at
the beginning of sentences, as done by \prettyref, but I found that
sentences rarely start with references anyway.
