I think we want to stick to the lo_xxx naming convention, whatever
xxx ends up being.

I was idly thinking that we might want to focus on the fact that this
function not only creates a LO but loads some data into it.  lo_make
isn't too bad, but we could also consider lo_load, lo_import, etc.
(lo_import is not one of the names we have to avoid overloading.
OTOH, there's already a 2-argument form of it, so maybe there'd be
issues with resolving calls with unknown-literal arguments.)
