Thanks for the query "string prefixes". I tried other queries but not that one.
I ended my first message with "I hope I didn't break any unspoken rules" and it
seems I have.

I replied to this in a separate post, but html() is likely a function name that
is used in millions of existing code bases. Applying this rule to all of them
will lead to too many errors to be acceptable to editors I think. And if this
has to be explicitly configured in an editor very few will use it.
