Hi,

I just had a nice idea.
However due to my lack of obj-file-format knowlege I don't know 
how feasible it is.
As far as I can see Identifiers are already in a hashed format 
while inside the symbol-table of the compiler.
The Idea would be to safe a hash-table from id to clear-text-name 
or compressed-clear-text-name inside the object And simply mangle 
the id of the identifier rather then the identifier itself.
