Like Richard, I think that not all of the functions are needed, because some can be trivially expressed by others. I thought we always implemented only the minimum required set. For example, we have version<, but not version>=; we have string-collate-lessp, but not string-collate-greaterp. Why do we need to stray from that principle in this case? And if we must have all of those functions, why cannot they share most of their code?
