Comment (by toscho):

 I’m already sorry for bringing up the name discussion. :)

 `alt()` is way too vague and misleading, and there will be probably
 collisions with existing plugins or themes. Keep in mind the new function
 goes into the global namespace.

 What we also should keep in mind: this is just a workaround for the
 current layout in our '''Publish''' box. Not even a good one, because
 these short redundant links are still not very useful on touch screens or
 for keyboard access (and technically, they act like buttons).

 So I think we should not use name that implies that this is a good
 solution.

 Focus on what it does: it creates two elements, one with an attribute
 `aria-hidden="true"`. It doesn’t hide anything – that depends on CSS or
 client implementation.

 I would prefer something like `get_aria_text_combination( $aria_hidden,
 $aria_accessible, $classname )`. Probably with better variable names. :)
