So: if you want to know if it has ever > happened: absolutely. The question I raised is not whether users have run into name conflicts but why Emacs coding conventions should reserve any given name prefix (or prefixes?) for users. Users can run into name conflicts also if they use the same "reserved" prefix `my-' (or `my/' or `my31459265358979535/' or whatever).
