In my case, node names may represent any Common Lisp symbol, which can
be composed of any possible character whatsoever. Any kind of
shortening may entail name clashes. Plus, like I said, any kind of
node name tweak (which I'm doing right now) makes it impossible to
cut'n paste it, and in general makes it less readable / explicit.
Since there is already a solution for coping with more universal node
names, I'd like to see it more supported rather than removed.
