* return the (hidden) name of a child variable constructed from
* the number of its parent variable and the start character of the
* grid-changing reference within the parent definition

* For example, in the definition
*     yes? LET var = 2 * GC_FUNCT( a,b,c )
* the string "GC_FUNCT( a,b,c )" would become a child variable with a name
* based on the uvar number of "var" and a start char of 5 (following "2 * ")

* V450: 12/96
*        7/7/97 - revert to one name in all cases -- use DIAGNOSTIC_OUT
*                 to make diagnostic output more readable
*       *acm* 3/12 6D Ferret (common uses nferdims in tmap_dims.parm)
