I've been following from the peanut gallery, and like deployment, this seems to be a required topic for participation, so I need to ask :
Why not preserve the string? it has no intrinsic meaning, does it? And thus, why not let it be preserved as a convenience for the user?
That way, JSR77 name retain their conventional structure, for example...
You're assuming that we build JSR77 names in a canonical format, and we don't. It is the job of the console to format a name into something readable by a user. IMO this is a tree and not a list of 200 character names.
