When using this approach, please be a little extra careful:

VBA has this feature, and a bug where it remembers some random/first input of a 
symbol as the 'definition' for things that are actually defined elsewhere.

I got stuck with DAte everywhere in one project, because I mis-typed it
once, and since Date is a system function, I couldn't ever get it back,
it always insists on using DAte no matter what I type.

Just some MS-SIlliness to be wary of.
