Several usability issues arising from shorthands have been clearly described by multiple people during this thread. Breaking basic tooling *is* a usability problem. Symbols not existing by the names used in the code *is* a usability problem.
I absolutely agree that you are not responsible for irresponsible acts of others, but I don't think it was at all unreasonable to raise these concerns.Sure, just don't raise them with us.
I was advocating for the removal of a new feature from Emacs Lisp -- this
is the only place I could do that. -Phil
