No, lcons is one of the names that I think we should stick with on historical grounds. It's widely used in the backend and it has the right connotations for anyone who's ever used Lisp. "lnew" conveys nothing, certainly not the right thing (it doesn't make a new List, only a new ListCell). regards, tom lane
