Do you need one?  What's wrong with the non-built-in
one I gave you?

This might give you a hint: Most Emacs users haven't
felt the need for one to be built-in.  Emacs is > 40
years old.  It's had thousands, probably millions, of
users.  And users don't hesitate to request things
they find missing.  You can bet that if it were felt
important that such a function be built-in, it would be.
