so does yours i think, or how was your proposal meant?

well, compare it to the outcome of your proposal which looks like this:

! Undefined control sequence.
\@currentlabel ...ing \label inside of a figure.

l.22 \label{foo}

i guess it is fairly difficult to find a short enough csname that in the above
output will look reasonable and b) it will still probably open more questions
than answering them
