This is what you get for posting about your functions before implementing them. :)

What's the problem? One is lowercase and the other clearly upper case.

Much like in vim: "f" searches _forward_ while "F" searches _backwards_. Perfectly valid. I see no implementation hurdles here.

My complaint is that a number on the stack before a command can mean two different things in different contexts. Apparently it is the responsibility of each command to consume numbers off the stack and choose what to do with them.

...Which doesn't sound as bad to me today as it did yesterday. I dunno.
