I agree that this is a step best not taken. This is ministat, and why = are we optimizing for this one use-case, when there=E2=80=99s dozens of = other that I=E2=80=99ve wished for over the years. What=E2=80=99s next -l for = log(x) and -e for exp(x)? But if reason doesn=E2=80=99t prevail, can we at least name it right? = The current name isn=E2=80=99t quite appropriate. You=E2=80=99re transitioning from time = domain to the frequency domain, and just saying that it=E2=80=99s inverse.
