I don't understand why this is very unfortunate, and what do you mean that 
Max doesn't allow it. By "reuse" you mean use that symbol for a different 
purpose? So the compatibility issue would be because people do send 
messages to a coll using [s] with the name, as is commonly done with 
[table]s? am I getting this right?
