From what it looks like, it should be possible to add a
"backward_compatibility" function layer to search for old
names when the current feature names are not found. To do
so, I have to pass around the "abfd" data.

I can try implementing it and see if I run into any serious
problem.

Nevertheless, I suggest keeping the test and documentation
in par with the new naming.
