I don't understand why this patch, and a few other similar ones, were
pushed as they were Nacked by 4 reviewers. They should be reverted and
redone properly. The problem that occurred is exactly what happens when
relying on a naming convention. Sooner or later it will break. All other
libraries do it in the source code.
