Mainly this means writing a catcode table (as my example showed) and enabling them in each file. One could also consider using the standard \startmodule ... \stopmodule tags around each module. I can do that rewrite, but someone else will need to test all the changes as I don't use pgf/tikz. > I also have commit rights for TeX Live, but I don't dare applying > patches without having them applied upstream.

In the worst case, it will be better to release a module with the different name rather than silently overwriting PGF files.
