It offers no additional protection.  It is already illegal to use a
hierarchical reference to that variable.  Having tools generate a standard
name doesn't change that.  And if a tool fails to enforce the rule against
hierarchical references, and an engineer chooses to write illegal code that
uses them, I can't imagine that they will be held back by the names being
non-portable.  The use of the hierarchical reference is already non-portable
to any compliant implementation.

So you are talking about giving up an ability in exchange for nothing.
