   Yeah, it would definitely take a lot of heuristics to come up with 
something
that worked "most of the time", although it might be possible.  Of 
course,
the downside would be that nobody would understand the rules without
trying out a specific case.  That might be acceptable, though.

   The way to develop something like this would be to build a large 
corpus
of symbol names from different projects, and then try out any proposed
translation rules on that.
