Why are these new built-in functions necessary? Firstly, their names
are not descriptive; moving a buffer to the front or back of the buffer
list is not a good match for the words "recording" or "unrecording".
Secondly, we already have the function bury-buffer, so why introduce yet
another function that does the same thing?

I took the names from the corresponding C functions. Feel free to give
them suitable names.

Because in Emacs 23 `bury-buffer' was in C and some buffer list actions
are too sensitive to move to Elisp.
