Thinking about it, the best time to do this might be just *after* the release,
to give the maximum time to discover any problems it might cause.
Only pretesting will give any real idea of whether a function is
used in code outside of Emacs. Since we have not started the pretest,
now is a good time to delete some of these names.
screen-height
screen-width
set-screen-width
set-screen-height
Those are probably really used in .emacs files. We shouldn't delete
them now, and maybe not ever.
dot
dot-max
dot-min
dot-marker
Those can go. They are not used in the Emacs sources,
and they were not used much. Note that bytecomp.el defines
properties for compiling them, so delete those too.
buffer-flush-undo
That was probably used often by users; let's not delete it now.
'compiled-function-p
Only a few programs would have had reason to use that, so
delete it now.
19.23
allout-exposure
That was specialized; delete it now.
19.32
focus-frame
unfocus-frame
Those would have been used rarely; delete them now.
19.34
executing-macro
Please delete that too.
