I'm not sure that Peter was voting for retaining "internal name", but
personally I prefer that to deleting prosrc entirely, so +1.

We have \sv already no?

I'm kind of -1 on removing view definitions from \d+.  It's worked like
that for a very long time and Peter's is the first complaint I've heard.
I think changing it is likely to annoy more people than will think it's
an improvement.
