Dunno; doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I don't mind, anyway.

Well, I don't suggest it randomly, or from a misplaced sense of
completeness, but because for whatever reason (although I've certainly
used this command often enough), I always seem to try typing "M-x mkdir"
(or "mk TAB") first, and then when it doesn't work, remember, "oh yeah,
it's make-directory... grumble".
