Subclassing just to get a decent name/operator feels stupid. Why not mod = safesubstitute per default then?
Because I don't know which version will be more generally preferred by application authors and in the face of ambiguity I refuse the temptation to guess. (I know which version my own applications will prefer but I think you're the same person arguing that my own needs shouldn't drive all decisions.)
You know, that's an argument for going back to subclasses.
