    app: use L*, a* and b* for the Lab channel short names.
    
    Elle Stone says (cf. bug 791484, comment 9):

    Better use the most conventional naming. And as a side effect, it makes
    differentiating Lab a* and Alpha shortened names more obvious, while not
    making them that much bigger (2 characters instead of one for "a*").
