This is for Alain, who is busy with demos for Release 6, needs cheering up, and is known to take an interest in Apple's names for new routines and constants.
Last year he posted to this list an amusing fantasy based on Apple's naming policy. But fact beats fiction...

The longest official Apple constant seems to be 
kFindFolderRedirectionFlagsUseGivenVRefNumAndDirIDAsRemoteUserFolderBit

It can be used with the FindFolder toolbox function.

To define in FB^3, we would write:
_kFindFolderRedirectionFlagsUseGivenVRefNumAndDirIDAsRemoteUserFolderBit = 2
a statement that barely fits in the default Editor page width.
