Emacs help (apropos etc.)currently doesn't help them find the options. Please provide variable aliases for all of the options named`list-matching-lines-*'. And maybe even consider doing it the other wayaround instead, that is, the same direction as for the command: alias the `list-matching-lines-*' option names to the (new) `occur-*' option names.I think the naming is fine as is, so I'm closing this bug report.
I agree with Drew -- `occur' is the primary name and almost certainly the most familiar one for most users. Everything to do with `occur' should at minimum be searchable by that name. -Phil
