Actually, this function deletes all the text inside the sexp out of one level of parentheses, except sexps selected by the argument or active region in transient-mark-mode. The name delete-surrounding-sexp would fit that command, but that doesn't seem like a very useful command. I had misunderstood the previous description; I though the idea was to delete just the parentheses, more or less the opposite of what insert-parentheses does. The name delete-surrounding-sexp would not fit that at all, but raise-sexp or promote-sexp would fit it.
