💡 Should tokens be prefixed by alias

[fraincs]

Problem to solve

Orbit tokens are prefixed with alias when they refer to another token. While looking at others 99% of them don't use alias for token names. Tokens names if explicit enough shouldn't need alias in their name as bg-accent intent is clear enough. Alias pollutes autocompletion too

Here's an example of other system token naming convention :

Idea

Remove alias in token names, documentation should be enough to expose tokens that should be used. If this becomes a problem a linter could be added in order to help with the usage of tokens.

Doing this would require some restructuration of token naming e.g. text color tokens don't have text-color in their name this could lead to weird token names default is not a good token name text-color-default is much better.

I think a linter could be added from day one. I doubt it would be a hard one to code, @alexasselin008 is a pro.

Is it still relevant? If so, I think it should be moved to a Github Discussion until a formal proposal is available.
