[petsc-dev] naming of DM specific constructors is backwards

MatCreateSeqAIJ() etc etc etc
but
DMDACreate(), DMRedundantCreate() etc
Now given that normally we list the subclass name right after the base class in methods, for example KSPGMRESSetRestart() not KSPSetRestartGMRES() it might make sense to always follow the DMXXXCreate() style and change ALL the other sub constructor names to the DM style. Boy I know Wolfgang will not be happy with that :-)
Should we just fix the DM sub constructors to follow the style of all the other ones?
