A user might not *need* that, provided s?he were knowledgeable wrt
replacement commands or wrt Lisp. But a user might *want* that.
The question is whether such commands should be added to Emacs, as a
convenience. I have no opinion about that. But if they are added then
I would prefer that the command names reflect better what the commands do
(see my previous comment).
