Hmm. There's still a question of style, in lily-library.scm we do

(define-public X 0)
(define-public Y 1)
(define-safe-public START -1)
(define-safe-public STOP 1)
(define-public LEFT -1)
(define-public RIGHT 1)
(define-public UP 1)
(define-public DOWN -1)
(define-public CENTER 0)

perhaps we should do #UP and #DOWN iso. #up and #down ?
