Emacs is not consistent in the consistent sense
of the word. There are conventions and that's
all good but there are many examples where
Emacs consistency is inconsistent.

Here's one from the holster. Compare:

`yes-or-no-p'

and

`getenv'

Shouldn't that last one be renamed `get-env' to
make it consistent?

Answer: No. (But it is still inconsistent.)
