And I am definitely not saying that should work. Instead, I am just pointing out the kludgeyness of the [trigger] shortcuts. No other language that I know has shortcuts for object/message/function names. Each object, message, or function has one name.
That's cause [trigger] is phoney shit that should've been deprecated since Noah, because it's trying to do two jobs at once, namely the job of ordering outputs, and the job of [b] [f] [symbol] [pointer] plus a few quirks, without much of a reason. But I've said that before.
To me, the most compelling reason to abbreviate the triggers is that it's the closest thing to making them disappear, among the things that I can do without looking like I'm coming straight from the jMaxlavian refugee ghetto.
Implement something better!
