I think you have exaggerated a .01 into .99. I don't agree. Symbols are at the heart of Lisp. Changing their semantics is a big deal, and as soon as that features is in, it will be used. BTW, in light of what I read now on emacs-devel in various threads, I take my questions about the design of shorthands and there use instead of modules/packages back, because there is no design. This belongs into a feature branch, IMO.
