FL does exactly this. The interpreter searches for an exact match first,
and looks for abbreviations only if an exact match can not be found.

Eg. let's have a simple procedure:

pro INT, long=l32, long64=l64
end

Now INT can be called succesfully with keywords LONG, LONG6 or LONG64,
only L, LO and LON will fail.
