No, I think. You can use VAL, VAl, vAL, VaL, vAl etc.
These all 'vals' are different for Euphoria but make
sense for Basic programmer.
And I do not think that someone will some time include
Win32lib into his program, which includes Basic/Euphoria
library.
Then, we can use 'include as' form of inclusion
to avoid conflicts.
