Yes.
It's just a function wanting to act as-if it were in a different
environment than its default. By that same reasoning you could state that
"If a function knows of the presence of a built-in, it's not asking
too much for it to not re-use the same name in local scope."

It's entirely different. It's only the same if the function actually
tries to call the built-in, then also wants a local variable with a
different purpose. Think a little about what I mean that the function
"knows of the presence." I did not say the programmer knows of the
presence.
