I see. You were more concerned about the naming of the coding artifacts
(e.g., function names, error prints, etc) than the actual filenames. I
think I have aligned with the function naming of insn.c in all the
functions that are exposed via header by using the inns_ prefix. For
static functions I don't use that prefix. Perhaps I can use the __
prefix as insn.c does.

Thanks and BR,
