The question is: how much time does it take to find all these Elisp functions? (Unless you /know/ them already. (And you cheated a bit: I didn't have my data in a Lisp list, but in an Org table. Next level of function-searching.) And more importantly: /why/ do it if you don't have to? ("Fun", "learning" and "this I may need in the future" are legitimiate responses, of course, but "No need to" is, too.)
