Sometimes you want shorter variable names as the created objects in sysfs, because the 80 columns limit of the kernel source makes long variable names pretty inconvenient. And all these decl_* macros, obviously can't create any names that contain '-', which is pretty annoying. There is also a user in the experimental patches in Greg's tree. Please leave it there for now.
