Since most Java package names follow a naming pattern similar to "com.company.project.module.subpackage", it would be nice to be able to compress an arbitrary number of initial packages completely, rather applying the current character oriented compression to each package.  For example, I would prefer the above to be compressed as "...module.subpackage", or "c.c.p.module.subpackage".
