I was not thinking of longer names for typing on the command line (thus my alias suggestion allowing both long and short names). Where longer names would come in handy is in manual file management. For example, a new release of MAME borks the settings on a particular machine and I have to look through a folder with hundreds of config files trying to find the right one to delete.
