(Replying here to keep the discussion in a single place.)
As far as I can tell from the discussions here, Steven and you stated a preference for the shortened names, and that's it.
There was also no reply to my comment about `comb` being confusing (due to the collision with an English word).
Since there was, however, pretty clear agreement on calling it after combinations (shortened or not) rather than binomial(), I went with this.
