Really you have just 1 or 2 main sequences in your program.
For example, ed.ex editor.
So, you can enter these types and then 
use A_  or  B_  anywhere you want instead of, say,
length(First_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_1)
and
length(Second_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_2).

But you could not use $-feature in the same manner,
there is no the separate $-value at all.
