Actually the name limit hasn't been a problem for several months now.
DMD Win now MD5-hashes long symbol names so it's now impossible (?) to
crash OPTLINK by having long symbol names.  However, this has simply
fixed one problem to reveal another: OPTLINK will die if there are too
many fixups in a single object.  Just a hard crash.  This happens a
lot in Pyd-like code with several classes and methods wrapped.

It does.  The only weak link is OPTLINK, which is only used by DMD Win.
