See the first paragraph of John's announcement: to allow integration
with other langauges, that don't have those restrictions (or have
different restrictions).

For example, the Lisp/Scheme divide function is named "/" - a simple
implementation strategy is to use static Java methods with the same
name:

public class LispBuiltins {
   ...
   public static Object #"/" (Object x, Object y) { ... }
};
