Comment (by egourgoulhon):
Replying to [comment:20 vdelecroix]:
> Why did you abreviate `TopologicalManifold`?
No strong argument, except that this is shorter to write (well, thanks to
the tab key this is a pretty weak argument) and it is a reminder of Top,
which is the standard name for the category of topological manifolds.
Similarly, we use`DiffManifold` for differentiable manifold, Diff being
the standard name of the category of differentiable manifolds.
> Everywhere in Sage classes have plain names like `PolynomialRing` and
not `PolRing`.
This is indeed a strong point: naming conventions should be homogeneous
all across Sage. So I am considering to change everywhere `TopManifold` to
`TopologicalManifold` and `DiffManifold` to `DifferentiableManifold`.
