And I proposed guarding prettification not only by checking
`prettify-symbols-alist' for a match, by also by ensuring
that the function or variable of a match is not `fboundp'
or `boundp'.

At least do so optionally (i.e., customization).

E.g., ensure that "¬" does not name a symbol that has a
function or variable value.  If `¬' is already bound to some
function or variable then you probably do not want to alias
function `not' to it.

Emacs allows most characters in function and variable names.
Just because `prettify-symbols-alist' might have an entry for
a given string, that does not mean that the user wants to
clobber any existing function or variable that has that name.
