I do. But, than "le SELBRI" == "lo THE THING, SPEAKER HAVE IN MIND,
DESCRIBED AS SELBRI" (i beleive, it can be expressed in lojban
somehow). That gives us "le co'e" == "lo co'e".

If you want do emphasize the fact of having it in mind, you have "lo
selpei be mi" and alike. So, i still see no "use case" for the new
sumti.
