You type the name of the compiler by hand a lot?  Wouldn't it be invoked
from a Makefile or IDE 90% of the time?

Besides, if you really object to a name longer than 4 characters, you
can always make an alias, but if there's a name class, it's harder to
alias from an ambiguous name to a non-ambiguous one.  So it's better to
err on the side of non-ambiguity.
