I'm not rejecting the idea outright. I've actually implemented this in the

I'd consider it in a similar class as the dictionary lookup that occurs when
an unknown symbol is encountered. Totally unnecessary, but it's a nice
time-saver.
It's not in the same category, because that feature has zero cost.
Again, it's about the cost of it.
