Yes, probably.

If we assume that e is a commonly used name for local variables, then it
would be rather unreliable to use e as constant in a function (since
callers are likely to bind e).  About the only place one could use it
safely would be top-level code (defvar etc.).  So I guess that e the
constant is indeed used very rarely.
