Summary	Add BOUND? as an additional name for BIND?
Description	BIND? returns the binding of a word (an intrinsic property), or TRUE for words bound to function contexts, or none if there is no such binding; it both returns a property and is used in conditional contexts. When a function like this is used conditionally, it is good style to use the adjective? naming convention, and the adjectival form of "bind" is "bound". A function that returns an intrinsic property like this is better written using the noun-of convention, and the noun form of "bind" is "binding". This makes BOUND? and BINDING-OF both better names for BIND?, though we would also need to keep the BIND? name both because of the legacy naming rule, and because it's more easily relateable to BIND by people searching help without using English word variants. These additional names would be for friendliness and convenience, so would not necessarily need to be in the sys context.

Comments
(0003018) Ladislav 14-Jan-2011 14:29	Seeing the reasons, but two alternatives?
(0003021) BrianH 14-Jan-2011 21:20	Two suggestions that are both better than the current one. We don't have to accept both, or either for that matter (that's what and/or meant). Perhaps most of these sensible renamings of legacy functions should go into optional modules, especially since we can't get rid of the old names because of the legacy naming rules, we can only add names.
(0003025) abolka 16-Jan-2011 23:32	Note that in R2, BOUND? still exists as alias for BIND?.
(0003059) Carl 30-Jan-2011 22:12	BOUND? is now the official function name. (BIND? is still supported.)
