It may be irregular, but it's there for a very long time, and AFAIR no
one complained about that. So I see no reason to put in Emacs
something that is your personal preference.
(E.g., I find function names like foo->bar also irregular -- this is
Lisp, not C -- but that's just my personal stylistic preference, so I
keep it to myself.)
