This traversed my mind.  I wanted to avoid such `lisp.' prefix, a bit
because they might become cumbersome, but mostly because they force users
to well remember if a function is implemented in LISP or not, and I would
prefer that this be made a transparent implementation detail.

On the other hand, thinking again about it, I wonder why I hesitate using
`emacs.point()', when it does not bother me to write `string.join(...)'.
There is indeed some name-space cleanliness at sticking to such prefixes.
I'll think more on this.  Thanks for the triggering!
