Never by me or other Lojban Old Farts. For us, "loi" is "Mister", and
has been since Loglan days. In JCB's original example, whenever a monkey
falls out of a tree, Mr. Monkey falls out of a tree (and out of Mr. Tree,
presumably, though JCB didn't say so). But I now concede, grudgingly,
that this is an undesirable conflation.
