The ones you end up with still available just aren't mnemonic for a new use you have in mind anyway. If you want to implement this feature (and I'm kind of neutral on the idea) I would strongly recommend using words as templating tokens. Perhaps a little like Python does it:

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't want to encumber ls with such a feature.
