Actually, "occur" is still the principal name.  And I haven't proposed
to reverse.  My patch makes both names "list-matching-lines" to "occur"
available for customization.

There's no hurry for the decision about the name, but the current
transitional state makes it difficult for users to customize this feature:
the command is know primarily under the name "occur", but user options
have a different prefix.  After my patch installed, users will be able to
find these options under both names.  And the decision about obsoleting
one of them could be postponed.
