I'm with Stephen on this one.  I agree that standardizing the function
names and behavior would be a good idea, but don't try to put them all
in one place.

BTW, the plain-name cases should be "const char *", else some callers
will have to cast away const.  You could possibly make an argument for
"const List *" in the qualified-name cases, but we don't do that
anywhere else so I think it'd just look funny here (and would require
internally casting away const, too).
