The changes that Michael is making regarding filter renaming stems from
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2794. Anyone is welcome to
join the discussion there.
In general, renaming filters serves to:
1) Provide a consistent naming scheme.
2) Match the doc/README.developer skeleton code documentation.
3) Avoid unintended display filter name collisions.
In addition, renaming filters has also helped to find/fix some unintentional
duplicate filter names, some of which have manifested themselves as nasty bugs.
Michael's checkfiltername.pl script aids in finding potential candidates; it is
not being globally applied.
