Regarding uglification.
I am on the fence on this one, with a preference to non-uglification.
The reason is this: if this is offered as pure extension
of GNU C++ and we indicate very clearly that user of this extension implies that
certain names (the one we use in the implementation) are reserved,
then we should
be OK. For this to work, we have to be disciplined in terms of not using our
extension to implement standard entities in a way that uses non-uglified names.
I suspect this is where troubles came from in the past.
