Yeah, I do this all the time as well (in Cursive, I frequently have things with names like 'symbol' and 'list' for example), but it does bite me when I later refactor or copy some code around. I'm not sure what criteria I'd want used for this warning - attempting to invoke a local binding that had something clearly not invokable (string etc) assigned to it? It's tough though, very rarely do you have enough type information to make those decisions.
