Naming conventions and what is "nice" is a personal judgement.
Why change things? For anyone used to the EMBOSS code base,
it is very advantageous to preserve the old names in any interface.
I would also say it makes sense to keep the "aj" prefix - it acts
as a namespace, avoiding name collisions with internal names.
