I probably over reacted a bit, sorry.

But at this point you'd now that I'd be fine with things not being
perfectly categorized.

What I'm complaining about is the lack of categories for a lot of
functions, or categories that don't look consistent. For example, if
everything string-regexp was under the "text-" prefix, I'd already be
pretty happy compared to the current situation. Right now it's a bit
here, a bit there, all spread around.

Also as I said earlier if at least there was a standard, like
"verb-object" I could understand, but the lack of consistency between
"sometimes prefix, sometimes not, sometimes idiosyncracy" makes
everything very unpredictable. Maybe I'd just embrace the chaos and
the uncertainty but, I think having a reasonable amount of arbitrary
prefixes would not be such a crime :-)

Do you see my point?
