I see that most of the latex symbols representing digits cannot be used as variable/field name, (e.g., \msansone, \mbfone). I guess this is a deliberate choice, made to prevent disasters from happening when this kind of notation is over abused. I have to say though that there are probably a couple of cases where it would be useful, like the one I mentioned.
