Comment:

 In my case I now had to adapt an existing thorn which I wanted to have
 access to some (but not all) McLachlan variables. This is now done, but
 the general problem remains.

 Luckly McLachlan doesn't define K, as k is an often used temporary
 variable name - exactly what I had in my case, just with 'A' and 'B'.

 I agree that longer names can be cumbersome. The would definitely make
 expressions 'longer'. Also - we might actually 'get away' with most of
 this once the READS/WRITES mechanism is implemented fully and not
 everything is imported through inheritance automatically.
