For example, in 
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=systems-extended-alias-support>,
    The symbolic string must not exceed 44 characters, including all name 
segments and periods.

Indolent design.  They should have accommodated the possibility that the value 
of
a symbol may be shorter than its name.

Should the doc have mentioned ampersands as well as periods?
