to be fair, that file says:
	... you should call that "count_active_users()" or similar, you should
	_not_ call it "cntusr()".
it doesn't seem to take a position on the "verb_noun" vs "noun_verb" style. 

in my experience, the common string tends to be more used at the start rather 
than the end (spinlocks, mutexes, interrupts, gpios, spi, i2c).  but i've 
certainly not done a comprehensive survey to back up my position :).
