I like that name, but perhaps we should zoom out a bit and look at the
entire family of the non-idiomatic `org-ctrl-*' variables.
Most importantly, though, we should wait for Ihor to say his thoughts,
as he is THE expert to consult, especially with regards to the APIs and
overall design of the Org mode.

Fortunately, Emacs has us covered. See `defalias'. Such functions are
used all over the Emacs code base, allowing it to move forward, for
decades to come, in a backward compatible way.
Thank you for making Org better!
