I can't believe that somebody is proposing ANOTHER standard that imposes a
6-character uniqueness limit on external names!  How much longer are we
going to be stuck with somebody's 1960s linker implementation choice?

If ANSI got real and made the names of reasonable length, maybe that would
force some of these sleazy people to write a real linker!
