[Bug translator/10830] new pp() variant for source-level probe point name

Agree.

> What about pn() for probe-name (where pp() is for probe-point)?

Sound better than "pretty please" or "people", but can be misleading.
After all the name of the probe alias is returned here.
I suggest following renames:
pp()  -> ppname()
ppl() -> paname()
and leaving pp() as (deprecated) alias for new name (backward compatibility or 
maybe only via --compatible).

Yes, new names would be more verbose, but also more clean IMHO. What do you 
think?
