Sure, but some people ya just can't help. And someone with a PIPE MODULE on 
their A-disk is going to be in a world o' hurt with various other things. And 
when the results are SO bizarre, you're likely to figure it out a lot faster 
than some random EXEC that might even do something *similar* to what you wanted 
and is called 27 levels deep.  At least it reduces the world of things that can 
interfere by several orders of magnitude (assuming that end-users are far more 
likely to create EXECs than MODULEs).

But even then, someone could, of course, have a MODULE that gets in the way of 
what you wanted to call.  And so it goes.
