It's not that uncommon if you think of operator overloading in C++ and
many other languages, or things like "from math import radians as rad"
in Python. Shortcuts can be a very strong argument, and especially in
a graphical language, [t a a a a a a] often is better than  
[trigger anything anything anything anything anything anything] 

Ciao
