 Conventions'

(elisp) `Coding Conventions' makes clear that a predicate name that has
multiple words should end in `-p', not just `p'.  This should also be
made clear in node `Type Predicates', which currently says only this
about the naming:

  Following a general Lisp convention for predicate functions, most type
  predicates=A1=AF names end with =A1=AEp=A1=AF.

And that node should have a cross reference to node `Coding
Conventions', which details the "general Lisp convention for predicate
functions" that it refers to.

"Coding Conventions" are about future code; "Type Predicates" describe
the reality.  These two are not necessarily identical.
