Maybe (though, I don't think there was such decision, implicit or not -
"seq" and "map" functions also have an according prefix - I wouldn't say
we are converging are diverging to/from Common Lisp at all, but give
developers a stylistic choice). But here were are talking about a
construct that exists in pure Elisp, and OTOH also in Common Lisp,
sharing the same name. If there is not really a need to make the
semantics differ, I prefer to leave things as they are, because
everything else would probably be more confusing than helpful.
Regards,
Michael.
