elec-pair looks bizarre. How about give it back the name autopair.el?

Probably not my call, but I wouldn't object and FWIW I'll be deprecating
the original autopair.el soon in favour of the new feature.

I'm not opposed to it, but:
1- the name of the file isn't particularly important.  99.9% of the
   users won't ever know about it.
2- the only case where it's important is in terms of "namespace
   conflicts", so giving the name of an existing file could introduce
   problems (e.g. someone expecting (require 'autopair) to define
   specific functions/variables).

So I think it's better to stay with elec-pair.el and move on.

Yes, it would probably only make some sense if additionally we
defaliased `autopair-global-mode' to point to `electric-pair-mode'.

Yeah, most of the names under lisp/ sound bizarre anyway...
(minibuf-eldef.el? just discovered it, actually might be useful...)
