Comment (by nickm):

 I've attached a file documenting all the abbreviations that are currently
 in use in function names.  Some of them collide; some are ambiguous; some
 long terms in frequent use are missing abbreviations.

 Next steps here are to identify preferred versions (or not) for all
 ambiguous abbreviations; decide what to rectify and what to grandfather
 in; and make a (proposed) canonical list.
