+1. (But it may be considered too late...)
In general, IMO it's fine for a library to have
a short prefix for the names it uses (at least
2 chars + hyphen). But the prefix shouldn't be
confused with the library name.
That is, there's no reason a library name needs
to be so short that it becomes obscure. I'm
guessing that's what happens sometimes: the
library and prefix are the same (for whatever
reason).
I've even noticed in one of the recent threads
that a discussion about too-short prefixes (e.g.
`s-', not to mention just `-') at some places
morphed temporarily into a discussion of the
corresponding library name, `s.el'.
