The % prefix is to distinguish between an ordinary variable named 'e'
or 'i' and the special constants. The letter 'i', in particular, is
very commonly used as an index variable, and it would be unacceptable
to forbid that.
Or do you mean on output only? On output, it would certainly be nice
to have %e and %i (and especially %pi) display nicely.
