Is it bad style to override the built-in function `type`?

[Michael Herrmann]

Hi, 

do you think it's bad style to override the built-in function `type`? I'm co-developing a GUI automation library called Automa (http://www.getautoma.com) and 'type' would be a very fitting name for a function that generates artificial key strokes. 

This post is motivated by an already lengthy discussion on this mailing list (http://bit.ly/10aOy4H), where we tried to find alternative names for `type`. Many were found, but none are quite as fitting as 'type'. 

For the sake of avoiding a discussion that is already being lead elsewhere please confine this thread to what you generally think about overriding `type`, and post suggestions for alternative names or solutions in the other thread.

Thank you very much!
Michael
