+1 from me as well.  I spent a little time going through all my code,
and looking through Zope as well, and I couldn't find any place I used 
'div' as a variable, much less any place I depended on this behaviour, 
so I don't think my code would break in any odd ways.

The only thing I can imagine is some printed text formatting issues.
