   M-x presents you a list of interactive commands. They are lisp
   commands, but the user is concerned with their name when looking for
   a command, so displaying command names with spaces instead of dashes
   can make a more readable, cleaner presentation . . .

That is the way that Zmacs invokes M-x commands (with spaces, but using
initial caps).  But Zmacs makes a distinction between the command name
and the name of the Lisp function that implements it; in Emacs, they are
inseparable.
