This seems like a clash of different assumptions. What we have is a convention for names, in non-core packages and users's packages, which is to include the name of the package (perhaps in shortened form) in the functions and variables it defines. multibyte-string-p is not an exception. It contains the word string, so it follows this convention. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
