How can I make zfs give some shorter kind of names to the auto snapshots
it takes. 

I'd like to alter the date string and shorten like this:

  zfs-auto-snap:frequent-2009-04-15-16:30

Would become:
  a:freq-041509_1630

That's less than 1/2 the 40 characters the auto process generates.

I find these long names awkward to deal with.  Like when ssh'd in and
in a console terminal, if you run a long ls, those names are going to
wrap and become confusing to look at for no good reason.

Where can I adjust this naming mechanism... including date.. maybe a
separate mechanism.
