Summary: al_current_time does not fit Allegro naming convention

Initial Comment:
Should there be al_get_current_time() instead of al_current_time() ?

Message:
Agreed taht it should be al_get_current_time().
Disagree about the others, to various degrees. Something like "if
(al_is_timer_started())" just reads wrong to me. Similar with
"al_was_mouse_button_held()", it sounds contrived.
Those changes, I think, actually make things harder because they don't
read natural.

Message:
Maybe al_was_mouse_button_held(), al_was_key_down(),
al_turn_keycode_to_name() ?

Other entries:

al_timer_is_started()                          ->    
al_is_timer_started()


al_fs_entry_is_file ()                                        -> 
al_is_fs_entry_file()             (???)
al_fs_entry_is_directory ()                               ->
al_is_fs_entry_directory()      (???)

Everything else does fit to the convention( except al_mouse_button_down(),
al_key_down(), al_keycode_to_name(), but I don't see a sensible way of
"correcting" them)
