I much prefer using the core (non-extension) names everywhere.  It's 
cleaner and more forward-looking.

It also helps distinguish functionality that is only in extensions...or 
cases where enums/functions differ slightly between the extension and 
core version.

When trying to find the NV program stuff recently, it was tricky to tell 
what was specific to the NV extensions and what simply came from there 
originally (and thus was decorated with _NV when it didn't have to be).
