Sorry, no more renames, and that is final.  The branching point for emacs-29
is almost upon us, and we cannot afford such changes anymore.  The
justification is quite weak anyway.  People who think "ts" means only
"typescript" will have to adapt.  (The tree-sitter library has all of its
functions start with "ts_", so we didn't invent this shorthand out of thin
air.)
