I would say that symbols that are IB specific are very
low priority for shifting to transport neutral names.

Unless the goal is to eliminate the use of the IB_ prefix
completely I would not bother. It's more important that
the symbols that transport neutral code would use not
have the "IB_" or "ib_" prefixes.
