I don't know C++, but if I try to step into my Way Back machine to my
college years, variable name lengths don't mean squat in compiled (whether
it's binary or bytecode) code. My own personal "Best Practice" is to make
variable names intelligble ("myVariableName" vs. "v1") and reasonably unique
(e.g., avoid possible confusion from using "myBox", "theBox" and "box"),
while avoiding insanely long names (e.g.,
"theUsersCurrentStreetAddressLineFromWebContactForm").
