Let me join in -- this name restriction is NOT silly.  Let us remember
all the fuss over Russell Pinkston's cpoding of the Shepard tones,
which failed because a new opcode had captured a varaiabel name he
used.  Since then there has been an attempt, not always successful, to
stop the introduction of opcode names which woudl break existing
pieces.  I am responsible for the maligned gogobel.  I am happy to
change it to bellagogo which is 'safe' if it is so much trouble.  OF
course as upper case and lower case letters were separated spome years
back in Csound it is open to call a new opcode Allpassn but not
allpasn.
  Quasimodo is entitled to correct what are now seen as design errors,
but we cannot do that for Csound.  Think of the same with the Make
utility of Unix, which has serious design errors, but they are built
into programs all over the world.
