Ah, you mean that int32 fails some rule of thumb indicating likely names
that others will have used?  If so, OK.  It was the form of the
"because" clause that threw me.  I'd have said "because that's too
likely to have already been used".  That some name /may/ have been used
pretty much rules out everything!
