I don't actually consider this a bug.  By the same token, it is impossible
for library A to use macros from libraries B and C which happen to have
chosen the same *primary* syntax keyword: if you import "gazinta" from B
with one definition, and "|ga\x7A;inta|" from C with another definition,
you are screwed.

and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic
tenebrous ultimate gods --the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul
is Nyarlathotep. (Lovecraft)   John Cowan  cowan@x
