** Shorthands for Lisp symbols.
Shorthands are a general purpose namespacing system to make Emacs
Lisp's symbol-naming etiquette easier to use. Also known as a
"renamed symbol", a shorthand is any symbolic form found in Lisp
source that "abbreviates" a symbol's print name with. Usually, the
abbreviated name will be shorter, but that is not necessarily so; this
feature could also be used for providing namespace prefixes to
symbols, in order to avoid name clashes and namespace pollution. For
details, see the manual section "(elisp) Shorthands".
Lisp's symbol-naming etiquette easier to use. A shorthand is any
symbolic form found in Lisp source that "abbreviates" a symbol's print
name. Among other applications, this feature can be used to avoid
name clashes and namespace pollution by renaming an entire file's
worth of symbols with proper and longer prefixes, without actually
touching the Lisp source. For details, see the manual section
"(elisp) Shorthands".
