	/** returns the compatibility names of the specified function.

		<p>Compatibility names are localized names of AddIn functions that
		are used to import files from other applications.</p>

		<p>If on import a localized function name is read, this list of
		compatibility names is used to find the internal name of the
		function. The current locale may differ from the locale used in
		the imported file, so the method
		<member>XAddIn::getProgrammaticFuntionName</member> cannot be used
		here.</p>

		<p>The order inside the sequence of compatibility names is used to
		prioritize the names. Initially the first compatibility name of
		each function is compared to the imported name (each function may
		provide a sequence of compatibility names - the first entry of all
		sequences is used). If no entry is equal, the second entry of each
		sequence is used and so on.</p>

		<p>If a locale is not present in the sequence of compatibility names,
		the first entry of the sequence is used. So the method should return
		a sequence which contains first the entry representing the current
		locale.<TRUE/></p>

		@param aProgrammaticName
			is the exact name of a method within its interface.
