Of course not.  We can do it without any letter at all (use the Lisp
form of `interactive' specification), or with just one letter (with an
argument specifying which kind of d-s-m applies).  I.e. this is
a non-issue.

Actually I don't see we're short at all.  We have 32 chars used right
now, and while we can't use all of ASCII, there are more than 64
chars available.
