Yes, some of the identifiers are very long. The aim was to make the APIs self-explanatory. It should be possible to read an API and know what it does. It's challanging to explain an inorder walk, and its direction, in a shorter form.

The goal of course is for all identifiers to be as short as possible.

What about replacing FROM_SMALLEST_TO_LARGEST with ASCENDING?

That could work. ASCENDING and DESCENDING. I'll think it over (in the morning - I'm about comatose right now).
