Keep the original names for now, I suggest. Perhaps later some aliases 
could be put in place.

I am not really afraid of longish import names, in general you only have 
to type them once at the top of the file. Contrast this with c++ where 
you have to type a long story in the middle of your code.

On the other hand you may need to reward yourself for the hard work you 
have put in on the project and so rename away and make it more 
comfortable, but I don't know how that should map exactly. Perhaps 
consider 'specificity' and how much meaning each part of the name 
contributes. Where, persuambly dwt. could always start an import 
decleration.
