i think, that the question, why a new object [pack] is named pack is not rhetoric at all and isn't answered yet. so lets go again: why is [pack] from zexy called [pack]?

apart from the specifics of [pack]: if a language allows the overriding of built-in methods, then i do not see why a social codex (which is what you are asking for, right?) should forbid it. especially, if a language introduces ways to override built-in methods after years of existance, it actually encourages the overriding of built-in methods.

i guess miller has spent countless of sleepless hours thinking and rethinking how to do this best, so we probably should adapt to it.
