This is consistent, logical and predictable. Imagine this scenario: you have a huge dataset with hundreds of variables, you take logs _en masse_ via the nice and convenient "logs" command, only to find, dozens of lines later, that what you thought was under the name "l_varname34" doesn't contain what you want, because it's under "l_varname34a". Very irritating, and hellish to debug. The only good thing that may come out of this situation is the invention, if you're creative, of swearwords previously unknown to man.
