 also shortened element names.

 This would be absolutely my favorite solution.

 IMHO renaming all 3D raster and STR3DS modules using "volume" name
 approach will result in a lot of unnecessary work and inconsistency. As a
 result all documentation in code and manual pages, the module help,
 examples and tests must be updated/modified as well. Not speaking about
 the confusion with wording in already published scientific papers and
 books ... .

 I don't think this is worth the effort.
