Sorry, saving 1-2 characters typing is really minor. This does not, in

While I agree on its triviality, I really doubt there's much "weight"
to speak of either. Hara probably could've already implemented and
tested this in the same amount of time any *one* of us have already
spent bikeshedding it.
I don't think it's as trivial as you imply. You have to use a symbol
that's valid, but isn't used in the subsequent loop to avoid collisions.

You normally do that by using names that the grammar doesn't allow as
valid identifiers. Then you have a counter and prepend that. This way
you never have name collisions.
