A user might not *need* that, provided s?he were knowledgeable wrt
replacement commands or wrt Lisp.  But a user might *want* that.

The question is whether such commands should be added to Emacs, as a
convenience.  I have no opinion about that.  But if they are added then
I would prefer that the command names reflect better what the commands do
(see my previous comment).
