And https://github.com/Malabarba/nameless/.  I'm surprised that this package 
hasn't seen more adoption.  It's basically solved the namespacing problem for 
me.
It uses font-lock to shorten package prefixes: my-package-xyz gets displayed as 
:xyz, my-package--abc gets displayed as ::abc, and other prefixes can be added 
(by default font-lock-xyz gets displayed as fl:xyz).
The ':' prefix has a special face that makes it clear that it's an abbreviation.
