In general, I agree. In the specific case of intermediate generated
files, I would like the filenames to retain some relationship to their
origin to aid debugging.
Again, look at ALLPROSE. The idea is that while generating the .as files
you also generate line information into that file. Something like
#line 56 "myalps/prtype.as.nw"
that gives the compiler a hint where it should look for the original
source. Of course, you need a smart compiler to deal with #line
directives. The same applies for a debugger. The compiler should forward
the #line information into the executable so that the debugger can deal
with that information.
There is simply no need to have chunk names corresponding to filenames.
