Comment (by aginiewicz):

 If in this ticket find_maximum_on_interval is renamed to
 find_local_maximum_on_interval, why not use the change to name it just
 find_local_maximum and keep it consistent with find_root? After all they
 both work same:

 {{{
 find_root(f, a, b)
 find_local_maximum(f, a, b)
 }}}

 find_local_maximum_on_interval is 31 characters long, I think that such
 long names become hard to type. I know, it works on interval, but
 find_root also looks for root on [a,b] and isn't called
 find_root_on_interval.
