It was reported before, and we discussed it some, but we never actually
fixed it; the main question is what should be used instead as a
name. I think Havoc was leaning in favor of: 

 move_cursor
 delelete_from_cursor
 insert_at_cursor
 
Which are verbose, but unconflicting and clear. (::delete_text
needs to be reserved for GtkEditable)
