I like the idea. But if we want to have plain indexed names as well we
cant use strftime directly.
We could either give up on indexed names completely or write own
parsing function (in that case list of symbols must be determined).
Unless index-based names are useful for someone i am for first
solution (its simpler and solves segment overwriting problem
permanently). In that case I'm eager to modify the source code.
