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.

Yes, but you can rename/prefix primary syntax.

Sure, you can also rename auxiliary syntax but then

your entire DSL looks different.  This is an unacceptable

burden.
