Then we're basically in agreement.
Christoph Wedler's point about "forward" compatibility when one
implementation or another has an API and the other does not, and might
define it differently is also important. I think cooperation of the
kind that has occurred on `split-string' can reduce the number of such
cases and thus increase the applicability of f?boundp tests, but this
will take time.
