I vote to rename all the ones where the new name would contain "tuple"
and to leave the others alone.  i.e. leave table_beginscan,
table_endscan, and table_rescan as they are.  I think that there's
little benefit in standardizing table_rescan but not the other two,
and we seem to agree that tinkering with the other two gets into a
painful amount of churn.

Thank you. Please find the patch to rename the agreed functions. It would be good to make all consistent instead of applying exception to three functions but seems no consensus on it. Given table_ api are new, we could modify them leaving systable_ ones as is, but as objections left that as is.
