Comment(by novoselt):

 Despite of our recent discussion on #8989, here I am still in favour of
 long descriptive names ;-)

 However I think that it will be very nice to add `toric_M_N_lattices`
 function or something like this (starting with `toric_`) in the global
 name space. When invoked, it will add to the global name space functions
 `N`, `N_`, `M`, and `M_`, overriding the standard `N` which we definitely
 should not change by default. These functions can behave like this:

  * `N(sigma)` gives exactly what it looks like;
  * `N_(sigma)` gives `N_sigma`;
  * `N(stuff)` where `stuff` is not a cone, tries to convert it into an
 element of the N-lattice of the appropriate dimension;
  * `M` works similarly.

 What do you think of this? I can write an appropriate patch and put it
 either here or in a separate ticket.
