Name for "is n a palindrome?" function - may I suggest that another
good name would be ispalindrome (Maple style), or maybe IsPalindrome (Mma
style),
or both. (Or IsA002113.) To me that is more logical than the names Alonso
mentioned.

palindromicQ seems especially strange. Wouldn't the noun form, palindromeQ,
be
better than the adjective form, palindromicQ? But IsPalindrome would seem
better,
or IsA002113.

By the way, is there an easy way to tell Gmail to trim the fat, don't
include all the stuff that is concealed by the three dots at the bottom of
the message? Or does one always have to do it by hand, as I just did here?

Neil
