It seems a good idea to restrict such uglification to only those cases
where it's necessary, not make _everything_ ugly just for the sake of
consistency.....

[The traditional thing to do with C-keyword conflicts, when there's no
obvious and natural alternative, seems to just be intentional mispelling
-- "continu", "kontinue", "cont", "_continue", whatever.  Yes, they're
ugly, but people will know why you did it, and they'll forgive you.]
