My recollection is that shorthands are not to be used in Emacs core.
(I believe it was confirmed that they will be used only for certain
pre-existing cases where renaming was not an option, and would not be
allowed in core Emacs code.)

tree-sitter- doesn't seem very long to me, and I'm not sure there's
any acronym which replaces it suitably (it's a slightly weird name,
after all).

Developers can always define an abbrev "ts" to expand to "tree-sitter-"
if they are typing it a great deal?
