This whole what-if scenario is a complete non-issue. Many other languages do this out of the box and have no issues with it.

The key point is that they do it out of the box, so everyone is aware of it. As it is, it could easily interfere with some other non-standard extension plugin, for example.

Literally any code you write could interfere with some non-standard extension plugin, this is all pointless hot air.
