You think so? What will you save? It is just a few bytes in memory.
It is not unheard of, however. Note, for example, two different
functions for search-forward and re-search-forward. Now you can bind
both functions to a key, or use them in elisp easily. In either case,
you might have said, "Well, why not let the user answer a prompt and
decide whether he wants string or regexp search?" M-x is a nice user
interface because it gives you completion, and with one call, you have
answered all the questions. The two-step interface was reduced to a
one-step interface.
Alex.
