Well spotted! I missed that when I checked. I will add tests and
documentation.
I agree that generic is better. I only left it as it was because the
original intent was simply to move the existing code - but that's not a
particularly good reason for keeping a clumsy name. There shouldn't be a
clash, as any more general mechanism can either be in its own module or
the existing function can be extended in a compatible manner. I'll make
this change too.
Thanks for the feedback!
