Evaluation
The \acrshort, \acrlong and \acrfull commands are for the original acronym mechanism of the base glossaries package. The glossaries-extra package has new commands that are designed to work with the new abbreviation mechanism: \glsxtrshort, \glsxtrlong and \glsxtrfull. Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{glossaries-extra}
\makeglossaries%
\setabbreviationstyle[acronym]{long-short-sc}
\newacronym{laser}{laser}{light amplification by stimulated
emission of radiation}

Ooops, sorry for the noise! I'm a bit lost between the two packages.
As I said, I would dream of a glossaries2 package, with the features of glossaries-extra but without the longish and confusing "xtr" (in fact, each time a user is facing a macro name containing "xtr", he has to mentally remove this string in order to figure out what this command is supposed to do).
Many thanks, anyway!
