Why not just invoices, I think the prefixes are superfluous ( orders
invoices etc are relevant objects outside of acquisition, serials uses
them for instance and we dont need to distinguish them from some other
type of order ) But just because we've done one more sensibly we dont
need to bring the rest into line, I'm perfectly willing to continue
cursing at that aq prefix (my fingers want to type acq) and we can
postpone 'the great renaming' until we get around to something that
requires the interface to the orders table to be updated.
