or maybe just \defineconversionset

> As we’re now talking about \definestructure… I have a new request, can’t you change (or provide alternatives names) all the new counter commands from …structurecounter… (\definestructurecounter, \rawstructurecounter, \convertedstructurecounter etc.) to …counter… (e.g. \definecounter \rawcounter, \convertedcounter).

we already have

\let \definenumber          \definestructurecounter    % [name]
\let \setupnumber           \setupstructurecounter     % [name][setups]

\let \setnumber             \setstructurecounter       % [name]{value}
\let \resetnumber           \resetstructurecounter     % [name]
\let \savenumber            \savestructurecounter      % [name]
\let \restorenumber         \restorestructurecounter   % [name]
\let \incrementnumber       \incrementstructurecounter % [name]
\let \decrementnumber       \decrementstructurecounter % [name]
\let \rawnumber             \rawstructurecounter       % [name]
\let \getnumber             \getstructurecounter       % [name]
\let \convertednumber       \getstructurecounter       % [name]

\let \doifdefinednumber     \doifstructurecounter      % {number}{true}
\let \doifundefinednumber   \doifnotstructurecounter   % {number}{true}
\let \doifdefinednumberelse \doifstructurecounterelse  % 
{number}{true}{false}

\let \setupnumbering        \setupstructurecountering

and three synonyms is a bit too much ... best is to decide on the main 
one and then provide a synonym for a while for backward compatibility
