I agree that nice names would be very handy, especially if they were "built-in" -- they'd make ir_translate simpler to deal with.

But it's not that hard to deal with right now (comments make it much nicer than without comments), and kernel space is at a big premium (not everyone has a 16MB Mk2a player..).

So, easy as it would be to do, I'm not going to add code (or data) for it right now.

Instead, how about applying some skills to a web-based IR-Translation entry tool, that uses symbols, and generates/uploads an edited config.ini to the player? Nice user interfaces for static data generation are far better suited to an offline GUI than to the tight memory constraints within the player.

If this is done as a web-based app, using HTML/JavaScript/Java, then the pages and data can be stored and served from the player itself, without consuming any critical resources.

I'll go back into my corner, now..
