What's the rule of thumb for deciding whether a function name should
end with an exclamation point? I thought maybe it was when the
function modifies its first argument, but it seems there are functions
that do that and do not have such names.

For example, set-validator! and add-watch. Why don't they either both
end with ! or both not do that.
