why not type: av_picture_size action: get?

the question maters for a naming convention ...

also what would av_new_stream() be called then?
av_format_context_new_stream() ? this is ugly

and av_index_search_timestamp() would end with
av_stream_index_timestamp_search() or av_stream_index_search_timestamp() or
av_stream_search_index_timestamp()

all depending on where the type ends not to mention the silly long
name
and the action is logically here on the index not on AVStream but
AVStream is the type you must pass to the function!

the whole naming convention talk reminds me of M$ hungarian notation
= "useless and silly"
