Well, I don't have an a priori opinion. What I wanted to say was
that for something that is not used very often, the long explicit
name is the good choice (no need for a lookup in the manual, the name
says it all). But if it is something that appears in every rule for a
translation grammar, I think it will feel heavy (everything is
already in the reader's short-term memory, so there's no need for a
long descriptive name).

Alright. That's interesting.
