Spell out identifiers unless the shorter form is already established Postgres/domain vocabulary or forced by Postgres's identifier-length limit — an invented local abbreviation makes a reader work out that it's an abbreviation before they can even start guessing what it stands for.

Carves out mirroring an existing catalog's own column names (e.g. pg_event_trigger's evtname/evtenabled) as legitimate, provided the mirroring is made visible in the code itself (CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ... FROM pg_catalog.pg_event_trigger WHERE false, or LIKE) rather than a hand-typed column list with no visible connection to its source.

Prompted by review feedback on object_reference#41.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Prompted by object_reference#41 review: a temp table's column names
(evtname/evtenabled) deliberately mirrored pg_event_trigger's own columns,
but with no visible connection to that source it read as an unexplained
abbreviation.
