Comment (by nbruin):

 Replying to [comment:19 kcrisman]:
 > I realized another question.  I can't build a branch right now to check
 this, but I believe that in the past the `c` and friends were not only
 confusing, they didn't actually correspond to any Sage variable.  So now
 we have it that there is unlikely collision, but even then we still have
 `_C` and friends not corresponding to any Sage variable

 Uh ... as soon as these make it back in sage there are symbolic variable
 objects that represent them. They are full-blown pynac objects right then.

 That has never been a requirement for objects to "exist" in sage. I don't
 think this is an issue at all. The objects can be accessed via `SR("_C")`
 as usual, and in fact if the user does {{{_C=var("_C")}}} or toplevel
 `var("_C")` he/she can have the object bound. We should absolutely not
 mess with namespaces during runtime. We ''might'' prebind `_C` etc. if
 someone thinks it's too difficult for users otherwise.
