I'm not sure how emacs handles completion, would using different
prefixes for matches and targets help? Otherwise I guess we can
just get rid of the prefixes entirely.

The main problem with these renames is that it module aliases
don't work for "rmmod", which is a pretty common thing with
these modules. I guess we'd need to fix up module-init-tools
first.
