Of course!

ugh! not good choices... for my taste anyway.
My question is kind of academic, for a global word, I would "pick" a
different one. My choice turned out to be
"peek".
for the sake of anyone reading the thread however, I must include that there
is much code written where system words have redefined. Where I think it is
most safe to do so is inside of a context.
