An element I find troublesome is where I must replace a CLP with an RPG
(or whatever source type with another) and I cannot change the name
because of existing references in other programs, menues or elsewhere. I
then have ORD500C written in RPG or ORD500R written in CL and the whole
point of naming by source type is blown. Further, should there be an
ORD500CLLE as well as ORD500C or ORD500CLP? The source types _are_ different.

I've never seen clear value in name by source type. I always rely on other
object attributes anyway.
