// Compatible CleanupName function
//
// Igor 8's CleanupName may return long object names (> 31 characters).
// This breaks compatibility with earlier Igor versions.
// Experiments that include waves, folders, windows etc. with long names
// cannot be loaded with an earlier version.
//
// This is a drop-in replacement function for CleanupName.
// In addition to the behaviour of CleanupName,
// this replacement ensures that names are limited to 31 characters.
//
// @param   name    object name to clean up
//
// @return      (str) clean object name
//
