I'm not against dropping \ExplSyntaxNames(On/Off). My only perceived benefit for them is that package authors can use them inside their own packages without having to deal with any spaces->ignored issue. But something like \ExplObeySpaces(On/Off) deals with this nicely.

What happens if \ExplObeySpaces(On/Off) occurs outside of a \ExplSyntax(On/Off) pair? (I guess it'd be a no-op, but just covering bases.)
