No complaints only because you did not put it through tests. With \re...
you circumvented exactly the tests the others ran into. But your code will
break a lot of existing examples -- anything using the standard \paragraph
syntax. Probably without any helpful error messages -- TeX will just be
missing \end's. It's much safer to give it a unique name as it differs
quite a bit from the standard \paragraph.
