I am not sure what my exact thinking was, at the time, and
whether it was flawed or not, but I chose the naming at the time
to be consistent with the other functions that looked similar in
they functionality. The ideal name for the function would probably
be something like "get_address_string_from_location", in other
words, what I meant is to return the "address string" (as opposed
to the address itself).

For now, I pushed the patch as is, but if you think the name
should be changed, here is a patch that does that. So, it's ready
to go in, if you give the signal.

What I would (counter-)propose, on the other hand, is that we
look at renaming the function to use "_from_location". Or, maybe
have the functions start with "location_" (Eg:
location_get_address_string, which actually might be closer
to our typical namespace strategy).
