Just as an FYI for those who have yet to come across it - the DB2 storage engine for MySQL uses this capability extensively to deal with the mapping of long/mixed-case names to the 10 character system names.

Takes a bit of getting used to seeing column names such as "account" when you look at the file descriptions!
