Right, but the question that has to be considered is how often would
that be intentional as opposed to an undesirable name collision.
I think Hitoshi was right upthread that it will seldom if ever be
the case that somebody is independently reimplementing somebody
else's API, so the use-case for intentional substitution seems thin.
