External names in other languages

[MLY.G.SHADES%MIT-OZ at MIT-MC.ARPA]

	it is a sound idea admittedly but it seems to me that all you
are doing is the standard(?) practice of

#define this_is_a_very_long_name xyzzy
int this_is_a_very_long_name;

when the compiler generates the internal global symbols table then for
the linker all references would be to variable xyzzy.

                     nice try but no dice i think
