IMHO, this unnecessarily pollutes the macro namespace.  Just imagine
that someone wants to define a macro which prints `Pianoforte' in some
way, and she decides to call it \pf just to discover that this name is
already taken...

Since it's just one line to define a new, arbitrary dynamic symbol
(which you essentially can copy and paste), I don't see a need for
such an action.
