Hello,
Is it imaginable to additionally generate an index file that map the
"half friendly" file names to a cleartext object signature ?
This would allow user to possibly postprocess the output while merging
overloaded functions to single files or renaming the files according to
their needs and preferences...
best regards,
Marc Mamin
