Naming conventions for defining macros

[Philipp Stephani]

Hi,

the manual page about coding conventions says: "Constructs that define a
function or variable should be macros, not functions, and their names
should start with `define-'." This recommendation is at odds with the usual
recommendation to prefix all non-local names with the package name and
doesn't seem to be widely followed by either Emacs (e.g. ert-deftest,
cl-defstruct) or popular third-party packages (e.g. magit-define-command).
Should we get rid of this recommendation? It amounts to special-casing a
certain class of names without much benefit.

Thanks,
Philipp
