Ok, let's try that again.  [trigger] understands these shortcuts [t a b  
f l p s].  These don't work like the [trigger] shortcuts:

[a]
[route b]
[b(
[route f]
[f 5(
[route l]
[l(
[l]
[route s]
[s(
[s] != [symbol]
[p(
[p]

And I am definitely not saying that should work.  Instead, I am just  
pointing out the kludgeyness of the [trigger] shortcuts.  No other  
language that I know has shortcuts for object/message/function names.   
Each object, message, or function has one name.
