Because my backend is generating type names and they are too long.
Ideally the user will never see these type names (they are not for error
messages), but for debugging purposes (of the backend) it would be handy
to have. The idea of fork/execing another processes to generate thousands
of names is not appealing, and adds extra dependencies on the compiler.
