Would not NPRE apply equally to APPLY as it would to ACCEPT?

Well, yes.

But it occurs to me that one could construct and ACCEPT (or UCLIN "ACCEPT") a ++USERMOD that adds a part so named as not to conflict with IBM and other software vendors' part names, and NPRE that usermod in all one's "real" usermods to prevent them from being ACCEPTed. Of course, one would never APPLY that only-to-be-NPREed usermod.

To avoid the need to rework the usermod in every release, one could use a ++FUNCTION instead, which is probably closer to a Principle of Least Effort solution.

This could provide the safety net the OP (or a later poster) was looking for.
