 My 2cents on the previous functions : The reason why some words are
attached (like newsegment or acceptcaps) is because they form an
'entity'. NewSegment is an event type, AcceptCaps is a pad
functionnality. The only case above where it doesn't make sense is for
gst_ghost_pad_new_notarget , where it could be renamed in no_target.

 You're welcome :)
