Changing names of some extensions to reflect manual pages or some hierarchy

Changing names of some extensions to reflect manual pages or some hierarchy

Hi,

  one of the most difficult things for me in using pandoc is to learn 
extensions and remember their names.

I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to rename some of them 
differently. In particular it would be useful to reverse their names, for 
example:

+ simple_tables -> tables_simple
+ multiline_tables -> tables_multiline
+ grid_tables -> tables_grid
+ pipe_tables -> tables_pipe

so for example, the output of `pandoc --list-extensions=markdown` would be

```
[OMISSIS]
+table_captions
+tables_multiline
+tables_pipe 
+tables_simple
[OMISSIS]
```

and so on for many other. I know this may break things in scripts, but it 
would simplify the use of extensions a lot in my opinion.

Thanks,
Luca

Perhaps, if we were starting from scratch. But changing this now would cause too much pain in the ecosystem.

`pandoc --list-extensions=markdown | grep tables`

What about adding aliases?
