Why?
The current names have more meaning than the new names. The ^P and ^N might not
map to previous and next in other languages but they do in english, and
changing to older/newer breaks that mapping.
If you want to shorten/cleanup the names in help, "Previous" and "Next" would
be good choices. But the function names shouldn't be changed because they are
descriptive and the new names aren't.
