Since I cannot write programs with variable names less than 30 characters long,
what I really need is a preprocessor that will map long names to short names.
We should have a preprocessor to pass short names to the compiler & loader and
a postprocessor to undo this in any error messages.  This way I could use all
the long names I want and never see the short ones.  Because of separate 
compilation, the mapping will have to be predetermined and static. 

If someone has already done this, please post or send hints.  If not then I 
will post one in a few weeks.
