I will.
It's a gratuitous change which pleases at most one person in the whole
world, while making working with the code a little bit more difficult
for people who have code bases containing the old name. (Of course
I'm thinking of XEmacs, but the same reason applies to anybody with a
branch planned for merger in the future.)
OTOH, "Qunbound" corresponds to perfectly good English usage.
@Stefan: Please refuse to make this change.
