Subject: Function names prefixed with "%"

It seems that it's completely valid to declare a function with a leading
percent, but it's not able to be called due to be interpreted as job
control.

    $ %paste() { echo hi }

    $ declare -f '%paste'
    %paste () {
        echo hi
    }

    $ %paste
    fg: job not found: paste

Is there any way around this behavior?  I've found that this can be worked
around with aliases...

alias '%p=%paste'


But I expect there are other / better ways.
