 The prefix used by the segment lib is "segment_".

 So you mean to change the first letter of the prefix to upper case?

 E.g. "Rast_segment_open" does not make sense to me because the segment
 library is standalone and not part of the raster library.

 Currently library functions for each library have their own prefix (that
 happened also when splitting gis lib in gis lib and raster lib). This
 convention makes work for developers easier and I would suggest to keep
 it. Thus e.g. "Rowio_get()" is just fine, no need to mask it as a raster
 lib function, it is a rowio lib function.
