What exactly? The `f' being repeatable part? Or that shadowing can be bad, especially if you think "no way I'm gonna need that", part? What I mean by "`f' is repeatable" is, that it has a well defined meaning if I repeat it: Just go to next char as you already did the time before. It doesn't make sense for ace-jump. Think of editing CSV files and you don't do the same every time so a macro is not helpful. But moving to the next separator is. And I can easily repeat it, hey even in the opposite direction in case I did wrong! The shadowing part should be clear, but I'll drop an example: You shadow `find-char' and have some tedious repetitious task, say with CSV files: Find the third field and enter something. Unless you have some complex data (e.g. escaped field separators), you're fine with a macro and `find-char'. I'm not saying that you go wrong here, just wanted to shed some light on the issue.
