Do you need one? What's wrong with the non-built-in
one I gave you?
This might give you a hint: Most Emacs users haven't
felt the need for one to be built-in. Emacs is > 40
years old. It's had thousands, probably millions, of
users. And users don't hesitate to request things
they find missing. You can bet that if it were felt
important that such a function be built-in, it would be.
