I like those kinds of names.  Suppose you have a database filled
with names where brief codes stand for categories, what would it take to
have the brief codes redefinable, and translatable?

I am imagining coming across others' part lists and ways to reuse them...
take your part database with its names and convert them to match the new stuff you want to merge,
merge them, then convert back to your chosen codes.

For example one way might be your ex. above, CAP_X7R-331U-50V-102T-0805P
and.... 			another:     CAP_330PF_1%_50V_X7R_0805
