Yes but for dynamically scoped languages you have to name it even longer.

Because in Scheme there are safe variables in closures so it can just named as <already-very-long-function-name>, while in Emacs Lisp it's literally leaking everywhere so it need to be <plugin-name>-<feature-name>-<sub-feature-name>-<repeat-the-feature-name-game-for-a-while>-<and-eventually-the-already-very-long-function-name> instead.
