Re: Naming conventions

Since readable code is more important than reducing typing to me, I
don't buy the "shorter name is better" argument. If you use a decent
code editor with code completion, you don't have to type it all in
anyway.

I would agree completely that readable code is more important than
reducing typing. However, length is not a virtue in and off itself, and
my point is that in this particular case the longer variable names do
nothing to convey the intentions of the author and, if anything,
distract attention from the role the variable plays in a form, and
towards it's type (which is much less important) .
