If you want to remove abreviations as a way to avoid confusion,
this is not the way to go. On the scale of confusion, cairo_concat_matrix
is a 1, whereas having both "cairo_multiply_matrix" "cairo_matrix_multiply"
is a 10. If you have to refer to their parameters to figure things out
you have disambiguated the abreviation anyway. In other words you save
nothing, but introduce a lot more confusion. Please don't make this change.
