i suggest a bit more meditation on this. and if you still haven't
changed your mind, then run experiments that include returning to code
you wrote several months/years ago... :)

sometimes it happens that i accidentally implement something twice
because of patch organization problems and/or not having an unlimited
memory. to my delight, i more often than not name stuff exactly the
same way in both implementations which are quite distant in time.

it also means that when i happen to look for something, i'll grep for
at least a part of the name i would give it. this strategy usually
very cheaply gets me to what i'm looking for. even years later...

all in all, having long and descriptive names is not a question for me
anymore, especially with slime's fuzzy completion.

we're glad you find it useful!
