I for one don't think of the approach chosen as very hard to come up 
with, although it might be useful at some point. My point is really 
about the way this decision was announced though, and unless a 
significant number of developers are expected to face a situation of 
clashing binary names with an interpreter involved, I still think it 
would have been best to announce the decision differently.
