You could certainly write a simplified binding script to translated from
'known' keywords to the right functions, but that just moves where the
translation has to happen and if upstream changes the known name you
have the same difficulty. You would of course argue that the known names
shouldn't change but they are just an API, and APIs are only frozen when
it is reasonable to do so, the ion API or the known names API would both
change when needed.
