OTOH, Robin's concern for how to code when you're stuck with 7 bit ascii on the boot console of a Sun box remains valid, and *I* sure would rather have a short name available in a standard way.
Perhaps a solution is a cultural one, that it simply be a point of good style for library authors to provide ASCII alternatives in the form of multimethods. Then, at least, the alternative name will be pertinent to the module.
