Or maybe it should be bad-idea-p but also zero-p. yeah, probably better
to delineate. What is not open to question is the need for consistency.

Actually, according to the standard convention, the didn't get it wrong
at all. It should be bad-idea-p after all, along with zerop.

The short form of the convention is that single word identifiers get "p"
and multi-word identifiers get "-p". Adding the suffix never turns a
single-word identifier into a multi-word identifier.
