If I may, it sounds like you have described a process which a (small) GNU Elpa
package could replicate easily.  I for one would install it.  In the Common Lisp
hyperspec pages with this kind of information are found in "the string
dictionary",
"the sequences dictionary".  I think demanding namespacing for discoverability
is mixing up two not entirely orthogonal but also not entirely dependent things.
