As mentioned by recidive in #409750-33: Overhaul and extend node build modes:
"I'd like to see hook_view() and hook_node_view() [let's add hook_node_build_alter()] renamed to something else, maybe hook_build()? Later we can have hook_render() for rendering tasks? hook_view() made sense in the past, but don't make sense anymore IMO."

And by myself in #499192: Fix display and forms for "Fieldable terms" for the equivalents on the 'user side':
"user_build_content() and related hooks: hook_user_view(), hook_profile_alter()
(note: functions and hooks names consistency is terrible)"

Just saying, I don't intend to tackle this myself :-)

This issue would be great for one of you type A whitespace and consistency freaks :).

This issue would perfectly serve well as the follow-up issue for the changes in my patch in #607244: Decrease performance impact of contextual links. Could we agree on that?

Preparing issue properties for that.

#607244: Decrease performance impact of contextual links brought comment, node, and user build + build_alter hooks into consistency.

So what's left here?
