-/* Remove either of these suffixes:
+/* ENCODED is the linkage name of a symbol and LEN contains its length.
+ This function saves in LEN the length of that same symbol name but
+ without either of these suffixes:
. .{DIGIT}+
. ${DIGIT}+
. ___{DIGIT}+
. __{DIGIT}+.
+
These are suffixes introduced by the compiler for entities such as
nested subprogram for instance, in order to avoid name clashes.
They do not serve any purpose for the debugger. */
