Comment:
I'm inclined to NACK this branch. I think such a big list of abbreviations
will be hard to maintain and use both for us and for volunteers. Also I
feel like the benefit does not outweight the overhead of enforcing the
abbreviations and checking whether an abbreviation exists everytime you
want to write code.
Perhaps as a way to do short-term progress here would be to identify a
bunch of important abbreviations that we get wrong often and fix those.
And then if in the future this abbreviation inconsistency issue becomes a
problem, we can revisit the list from comment:13 and see how to make it
useful.
Or we can ignore this ticket for now (which honestly would be my
approach).
