fooBar vs. opFooBar

I've noticed in the documentation that there are a number of functions with similar names such as shell/opShell and splitPart/opSplitPart. I looked at splitPart in the standard library and all it does is wrap one thing in a qOwnerPart query and call opSplitPart. Is it preferred to use one over the other? Are there different situations where one is more appropriate?

    splitPart is the feature (with a precondition for UI, etc.) and opSplitPart is the lower-level operation.  I think when the feature logic is not necessary (like in this case), using operations is preferred.
