The functions _are_ variants. They both count bits, albeit in slightly 
different ways. bool-vector-count-matches is supposed to be evocative to 
CL's count-matches, which has a similar interface. I also dislike 
count-leading as a name: it suggests that the function is useful only at 
the beginning of a vector. How about count-consecutive?
