re: long vs. short identifiers; it seems to me that with a bit of
judiciousness, one can have it both ways:
	instead of doggoneid1 being confused with
		   doggoneid2 in a truncating compiler, if you declare them
like this:	   1doggoneid and
		   2doggoneid, ie, make the unique part first instead of last,
then you have portable long ids.  see any holes kids?  ernie harkins
