Subject: bug#59745: 26.3; Rename `string-collate-lessp' to respect the convention
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2022 16:19:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR10MB5488DB0FB99405AAF3231C9AF3149@SJ0PR10MB5488.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

(elisp) `Coding Conventions' tells us:

   If the purpose of a function is to tell you whether a certain
   condition is true or false, give the function a name that ends in
   'p' (which stands for "predicate").  If the name is one word, add
   just 'p'; if the name is multiple words, add '-p'.  Examples are
   'framep' and 'frame-live-p'.

`string-collate-lessp' should, according to convention, be renamed to
`string-collate-less-p', no?  Every such misnaming encourages others,
as people tend to base new names on names they see for existing things.
