That precisely the point we have discussed with Fred and that
some others (hi Cesare) told us recently we should now
take care of ascending compatibility.

My point of view is, we may add non-compatible change if we
are confident that the current change solves the
problem forever (i.e. foreseeable future) :))
I'm confident that  changing the size does not solve the problem.

The idea that has been introduced by Fred is to try to keep
complexity outside bb_core by adding "optionnally" loaded function
to translate to and from realName to bbName.

I think it's cool :))
But it does not compile :))
bb_core.c, bb_simple.c and bb_tools.c refers to:

__bb_get_varname

whereas bb_core defines:

bb_get_varname

what is the purpose of the double underscore prefix?
On my side 1,$s/__bb_get_varname/bb_get_varname/g
works fine.
