No objection to either, but if name length limit is the problem to 
solve, then it would be good to shorten names automatically rather than 
manually. IIRC, there is already name mangling code. That code can be 
enhanced to shorten all names using some reasonable algorithm while the 
user code continues to use long, meaningful, "hierarchical", etc. names.
