*"Since module names are mapped to file names, and some file systems are
case insensitive and truncate long names, it is important that module names
be chosen to be fairly short -- this won't be a problem on Unix, but it may
be a problem when the code is transported to older Mac or Windows versions,
or DOS."*

element length limits in wide use in decades... ;)
