I'd prefer not to do that because it changes the amount of parsing work
demanded by the benchmark.  Maybe not by enough to matter ... or maybe
it does.  Adjusting the length of the identifiers is a small enough
change that I'm prepared to believe it doesn't invalidate comparisons,
but changing the set of catalog lookups that occur is another question.
