Of course. I just think it'd be bad practice to use e.g. stdWrap.wrap
the way you showed in your sample a few messages back. I think that
admins and developers using such an extension wtihout examining the
php code (which would probably be most of them) might expect
stdWrap.wrap on the root of the plugin to act on the whole of the
plugin's output, and not just on some portion of it.

If you decide to use a common word in an unusual way, there's no
guarantee you'll be understood :-)
