Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Shortcodes are hard to remember, there is no easy way to list them and they are global.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to be able to make the shortcodes easier to read on my end. I.e. rename the matrix tos list to matrix.org-tos and similar. It would be nice if that could change the global default or be a local override depending on my preference.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
You can manually edit the name and tell everyone to !sync, but that is still global and I can't do that for lists I don't control.

**Additional context**
Related to #41

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing related issue #41 and the current shortcode/list behavior, then clarify how global defaults and per-user local overrides should interact; done means users can rename list shortcodes without changing lists they do not control.
