I think it's ok if we end with a handful of functions that
are explicitly labeled that way to indicate they are the
in-place-modifying counterpart of some other existing pure function
where the return value matters. As long as "!" is rarely seen, it's not
suggesting that Emacs uses exactly the same convention as scheme.
