Internally we currently have the following renames in the codebase:

• wgpu_core -> wgc
• wgpu_hal -> hal
• wgpu_types -> wgt`

This is a thing that can trip up newcomers to the project as the names come from out of nowhere. An uncontroversial first step is to move the aliases from inside the Cargo.toml to in the code, so they can be more easily seen.

We have discussed this at our 2025-01-25 meeting to change to the following:

• wgpu_core (do not rename due to conflict with ::core)
• wgpu_hal -> hal
• wgpu_typtes -> types
