     Any objections if I substitute
    \\(\\w\\|\\s_\\)+ for \\w+ in find-function-regexp?

Please do.

    However, would we want to rename the functions in this manner?

Yes.

								   It would
    go against the namespace convention.

No, this is normal.

    For example, when looking up mh-assoc-string, a definition with
    mh-defun-compat would be considered. The advantage of this is that it
    would work with any package. A disadvantage is this would break user's
    settings of this option.

That is too far-reaching to be considered now.
