names they were because I like the idea of speaking names instead of prefixed
method names.

IMHO if you're adding lots of prefixed methods it's to keep a conceptual
separation, which is fine if there's only a few methods in the object
overall but when there's lots of other methods it's often better to use a
separate object, e.g. myWidget.getAnimation().fadeIn().  This has the
advantage that the API can grow without naming conflicts and that API docs
are collected together ­ for example, all properties and methods and events
related to animation would be in one place (which is what I think Franck
wanted to achieve) rather than mixed in with everything else just with added
prefixes.

Personally I prefer the speaking names style and I prefer to not change the
API names unless there's a really good argument for it (or the API is hardly
ever used), so I'd leave it as it is unless the methods were to be
abstracted into a separate object
