There are some packages which have a long name and then use a short

the `ace-window' package defines functions and variables with the
prefixes ace-* and aw-* (the latter mostly for "private" stuff).  At
least the aw-* symbols could easily clash with Anton Wiegley's private
stuff.

How about reserving '/' as the user prefix delimiter and '-' as the package prefix delimiter?  Then Anton Wiegley's aw/foo will never conflict with ace-window's aw-foo.
