The problem is: there is a virtually unlimited amount of words that
can behave like "set" and thus couldn't be used as first elements.
Some examples: 

the [fluid~] external has these: load, help, init, n, note, cc,
control, bend, p, prog, gen. And it also accepts list-messages starting
with "list ..." 

[OSCroute] accepts user-defined symbol selectors specified by
arguments.
