Agreed. Any objection?
I object. Two different names makes it easier to remember the
difference. An argument would be harder to remember.
The name `called-interactively-p' is good because
it relates to the use of `interactive'. The name `interactive-p'
is confusing because it does NOT relate.
Perhaps we should make the name `interactive-p' obsolete
and make a new name, `from-user-input-p'. This will eliminate
the confusion completely.
