Joseph Ferano a0f37e72a2 The ! suffix retires: a mutator is named for what it does, not marked ...

The !-means-mutates convention distinguished nothing — there is no
immutable counterpart to contrast with — so every mutating name drops
the mark: sort, sort-by, sort-bytes, swap, reverse, append, append-i64,
append-f64, encode-rune, split-next, map-remove, map-next, and the test
helpers beside them. Two could not simply shed it: map! is map-in-place,
because map is the into transform's word and means the non-mutating
thing; put! is put-at, because put is the Map builtin. The ?-means-asks
convention stays. Dated records keep the old spellings; watch.clj's
reset-spies! and the other Clojure names are not ours to rename.
