I think the function naming scheme is an adaptation of the C function
names ("gtk_color_something") rather than the type names.

"Intern" and "internalize" sounds to me like entering symbols into the
symbol table. "Coerce", "convert" and "cast" would sound like type
conversion. Scheme uses the arrow notation for coercion.
