Legend has it that IBM has in their possesion A Program that will turn a
nice, readable program, with Meaningful Variable Names, into an unreadable
mess with field names like Z43DF#4.
The only reason I can think of is to prevent those 'nasty' names that
programmers tend to use, such as:
GOTO HECK
and other less-kind variables.
