 Replying to [comment:8 hamish]:

 > often you have lots of maps but just 4096 chars to describe them in.

 The 4k limit is ancient history on Linux (prior to 2.6.23 it was 128k, now
 it's 1/4 of RLIMIT_STACK). Other platforms may still have small limits.

 Indeed.

 r55041 + r55042 automatically uses a qualified name where the unqualified
 name refers to the wrong map.

 It's possible that we might need an option to suppress this behaviour
 (e.g. for scripts which aren't expecting to see an @ and for some reason
 don't need to care about the ambiguity).
