Ouch, that's a tougher question, since I actually use that construct :)

But since I don't want to be a total hypocrite, I'm going to say yes,
we should get rid of it.  (With a deprecation message -- eventually to
be replaced by an error message -- that gives the recommended
replacement.)

So, should I prepare patches that deprecate implicit calling of
symbolics and of polynomials?  (Would they be likely to be accepted?)
