The functions were introduced within a month for different
objectives in March and April, 2002. I supppose that they are
intentionally added as separate functions for simplicitly since
the second one is apparent CnP'ed from the first one.
commit 5f4745adf4fb2a1f933b25d7a2bc72b39fa9edfd
commit 52200befd04b9fa71da83231c808764867079226
Returning to the patch, the downside of it is that textToQNL
makes an extra and unused copy of the parameter string. (It's a
kind of bug that it is forgetting to free rawname.)
Maybe we can separate them into three functions (or one function
and two macros) to get rid of the duplication but I'm not sure
it's worth doing..
regards.
