If you are editing multiple file within the same directory
with a very long path, the long dir paths is what takes up
most of the tag. One idea (borrowed from zsh) is to assign a
long path to a variable and then just show the variable
instead. Thus for example, given long paths like these:

If one can define a variable in acme
foo=/a/very/very/very/very/very/very/very/very/very/long/path/to/a
if the acme tags show
$foo/file1
$foo/file2
it would be much nicer.
Has anyone considered doing this or is there a better idea? I

this was done in wily in the mid 90s, complete with an algorithm
to find the shortest representation.
What was the result? In which distribution is it available? How is
it used?
wily was a stand-alone unix program. iirc it relied on the frame library
port from plan 9.
Sorry, my

Real paths are plumbable and copyable, variable names are not. p9p
acme (where this problem is more acute) has multiline tags.

Whenever they are available, I use symlinks for shortening paths for
Acme. This is so far the only good use I've found for them ;-)

Symlinks don't help in the tag as pwd
