 >While they still serve the purpose of loading and caching a set of
 options, these names would avoid the confusion with internal `prime_`
 functions and would more closely align with other option loading
 functions, `wp_load_alloptions()` and `wp_load_core_site_options()`.

 Yes, good idea Joe. The term "prime" is an internal term. And you're
 right, these new functions do align well to `wp_load_alloptions()` and
 `wp_load_core_site_options()`, which also load and prime caches.

 >I think adding the `wp_` prefix is best practice for any new public
 functions at this point, even if some of the most basic original functions
 to get/update/delete objects omit the prefix. It also makes it very
 obvious that these are meant to be used by extenders and not primarily as
 core internals.

 I agree. Also the prefixing with `wp_` avoids potential naming conflicts
 in the wild.

 **Overall**

 * `wp_load_options()`
 * `wp_load_options_by_group()`

 I agree with adding the `wp_` prefix and the renaming to better align with
 existing functions that load and prime caches. LGTM
