It would be nice to organize all the file-related functions better. Currently 
all the file-xx, file-name-xx, directory-xx names are not the easiest to find. 
I still could find them easily despite having used them for many times. 

It would be also nice if we can add some common shortcuts like

(defun file-content (file)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file-contents file)
    (buffer-substring-no-properties)))

That should prevents people from writing 

(find-file file)
(buffer-string)
