Just a comment about "before" and "after":

Those terms should be used only if the functionality
really does proceed in a particular buffer direction.

For example, the proposed Isearch commands I
mentioned, which have names with "through", can
work in either forward or backward direction, so
in their case "after" or "before" would be wrong,
for the command name.
