Maybe then I did Not Remember Correctly how max-compatibility mode in
Cyclone works. Sorry, I've got no time for a deep check now, but the
docs say this: 

DONE for cyclone
... 
alpha51
  * dummies loaded by maxmode, not cyclone
...
alpha50
  * max-compatibility mode switch for cyclone
    . turned on by loading cyclone libs through "-lib maxmode"
    . affects max-compatibility of prepend and Append, controls
      compatibility warnings
...


As I understood this, dummies are only to be loaded if "-lib maxmode"
is used. If A) it does work this way and if B) [date] is such a dummy, then
we do not have a nameclash. If not A) and B) then Nameclash. 

Ciao
