How about 'ope', then?

Actually, I don't really care what it's changed to. Jim is right in that 
it needs to be changed, and I thought 'z' to be not-so-great a choice 
for the reasons I already gave (in addition to some of the cons that Jim 
lists in his proposal). An optimal choice probably doesn't exist, though.
