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.
