Please remove as many of the arbitrary restrictions no doubt imposed
by the small memories of the machines troff grew on.  No limits on
name lengths (check the syntax of the extensions that already exist
and pick up one that goes well with the rest of your work), no
limits on numbers of environments, of macros, of words in the
hyphenation list, etc...  Actually, some sense of `scope' to produce
and promptly discard temporary names may help a little.

Good luck!
