That's certainly a consistent view to take, but it might be worth
discussing that further at some point. If there's a separate
namespace then I can't see any technical problems, and some users
may appreciate being able to define short strings like $a or $f
without any conflict with existing commands and keywords.

Obviously not. I wonder how many non-English speakers are aware
of this -- do we have an example of this in the Learning or
Notation manuals?
