If it's too late to change this, that's ok. I just noticed it while 
working on the patch for bug#52237 and figured it'd be good to file a 
bug about it while there's still a non-zero chance it could be changed. 
It's a pretty minor issue, so I don't really mind if this gets closed as 
wontfix.

If this change *is* ok to merge, I'll happily update the ELisp manual 
with a brief summary of the convention before it gets merged.
