In general, yes. The smart thing is to end up with CharacterScanner instead of MultiCharacterScanner, just because the name is simpler. 

We can probably fudge things a little to make the Multi-* classes acceptable in all normal-running, swap code to not refer to the non-Multi classes, then they can be cleaned up without fear of breaking anything live, then swap everything back to non-Multi, then delete all Multi-*.

Then maybe we can do the same to Paragraph & NewParagraph and any other confused classes.
