[issue30426] why not use the same style func name. eg: int.to_bytes (with underline) and array.tobytes(without underline).

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

We won't do that, because then we'd have two functions that do the same thing. 
There's no sense having to learn two functions, just to achieve consistency. 
Sorry.

how about add a unitive style function name, for a compatibility reason, keep 
the old function exists also.

for example, add int.tobytes(), and keep int.to_bytes() exists.

There's no particular reason, we just weren't careful about enforcing a 
consistent style, especially on older code.

But whatever the reason, it's now too late to change this.
