Fair enough, I'll toss them.

I have a mild preference to keep it just a string of characters, but
I could be convinced otherwise. I like that the characters provided
match how they are accessed like '#A'. The drivers do keep their
actual full name stored on the struct, so all the context is there.
Might make 'chdev' lines in namespace files a bit less opaque.

I like this. My only gripe is wanting some sort of implicit prefix
replacement for ∈. But I can get over that.
