[cfe-dev] [analyzer] Spell out ENTO in clang::ento

[Krzysztof Parzyszek via cfe-dev]

I vote for keeping it.  It's short, sweet and memorable.  Contrary to the previous opinions, I think it's a great name for something like a namespace.

As a first step, I think ento should be added to https://llvm.org/docs/Lexicon.html

Even if the namespace was renamed, people would keep stumbling upon "ento" for a while in old docs/code, so being in the glossary would still help.

"ento" says nothing to a newcomer, neither to experienced folks. I'd rather rename the namespace simply to sa (Static Analyzer). As such I am turning this conversation into an RFC on that renaming suggestion (+cfe-dev again).
