That reminded me that regex-related functions are not very well-named, namely

re-search-forward
re-search-backward
replace-regexp-in-string
replace-match
string-match
match-string

These are what I can come think of on top of my head. String-match is 
especially bad. Every times I search with string with re/regexp and just 
couldn’t find the function that matches regexp in string… I suggest give every 
re-related functions a re- prefix.
