+\r
+We don't want has_next and has_previous but something more like "has\r
+current", (perhaps to pair with get_current?).\r

+\r
+One option is to just drop the "move_ " prefix. Then everything will be\r
+a two-word function. So the new proposal is:\r
+\r
+to_first\r
+has_current\r
+to_next\r
+\r
+to_last\r
+has_current\r
+to_previous\r
+\r
+get_current\r
+\r
+Better?\r
