No, I do not think it would be a good idea for @{push}, either. If we
have two concepts so similarly named (and especially if we add @{pull},
which has also been mentioned), then I think having @{p} just adds to
confusion. So I would much rather wait and see.  It is very easy to add
@{p} later, but it is very hard to take it back once used.
