So far the string- proposal got shot down entirely. The regexp one was
initially a no-go from Alan but I then Richard kinda liked it and
proposed adaptations.
@Stefan Monnier: I see that you talked about `multibyte-string-p`
already (and iirc that didn't went well. You talked earlier about
`process-`, maybe you'd like to propose some changes there?
I mean I'm willing to propose concrete changes but if it's not obvious
for string- and regexp- why would it be for other topics? Let's try
another topic just to see:
rename-file -> file-rename
delete-file -> file-delete
copy-file -> file-copy
expand-file-name -> file-expand-name
Do you think people will be ok with that?
