I don't think that we should do that. With alt_name:de, it's clear that
the placement of "alt" and "de" is significant. With name:alt:de, it
could reasonably be expected that the suffixes are commutative: Are
name:de:alt and name:alt:de equivalent?
Oh, and personally, I even like "official_name" (which is the natural
word order) better than name:official.
