The Standard *does* in fact stipulate that only the first six
case-insensitive characters of any identifier with external linkage need
necessarily to be considered when determining if identifiers are unique:
but in practice systems with such crappy linkers are quite incapable of
linking C++ code, for instance, and are more or less dead.

I'd prefer C to move to requiring decent indentation so that I could
really whale on those idiots among my coworkers who believe that it's
up to *other* people to indent properly; they can just slam their code
straight down the left-hand margin for `speed'.
