Comment (by apedog):

 Perhaps you're looking for this function - {{{wp_reset_postdata()}}}?
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_reset_postdata/

 You're actually asking for a widely-used function to be renamed because
 the naming convention is bad?
 WordPress is a patchwork. Its full of inconsistently named APIs and
 functions, and mismatched function signatures etc.
 The trade-off is that backward-compatibility is assured.
 Changing the naming convention will break backward-compatibility.
 But you already knew that:
 > you're going to defend your naming conventions and design conventions

 I'm guessing you're right - no one is going to fix this "bug". The
 WordPress design philosophy (AFAIK) is that backward-compatibility trumps
 good naming conventions.
