Dear all,

  We are using Matt Needes' e2sr (v2.1.0+). We seem to have a
name-mangling requirement which it doesn't handle and I wanted to check
if we have misunderstood something.

  In some places we are using Capfast hierarchy purely for design
presentation purposes and don't want the schematic name to contribute to
the PV names. For example, suppose a.sch references sub-hierarchy h,
which contains record x. We want the resultant name to be a:x rather
than a:h:x (but we don't want to have to use name overrides for
individual records).

  We see how this could be done by operating on the short report
via sed (or the CEBAF name-mangling tool?), but feel that it would be
better if e2sr did it directly. Perhaps there could be a special
property on hierarchical symbols (e.g. h in the example above) to
suppress and/or rename its contribution to overall PV names?

  If this is seen as a good idea, we could implement it (unless Matt
Needes gets there first!).

  Thanks,

  William
