Thanks for pointing that out.  I see that one patch in the series adds
short names:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/15030/

That resolves most of my concerns as long as we update all examples to
use the short names and leave the full paths as an implementation
detail.  Supporting the full paths for backwards compatibility makes
sense though.
