I like them a lot and would like them to be included in Emacs.

Isn't that the case of all functions that are added to Emacs? For
example, Emacs 24.4 features quite some new functions including
`file-acl', `set-file-acl', `display-monitor-attributes-list',
`frame-monitor-attributes', `window-scroll-bar-width',
`special-form-p', `macrop', `with-eval-after-load', `group-gid',
`get-pos-property'.
Are you saying that all these functions have a reserved prefix (file,
set, display, special, get, group, with)? What about macrop?
Each time Emacs features a new function/macro/variable, there is a
risk of conflict with users' own functions. Still, Emacs maintainers
add these features because they simplify the life for everyone.
I vote for including these functions.
