Length of variable names

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

the length of variable names is limited to 50 characters. With my "local
namespace trick", this could be to little. Could you increase this limit?

We have to check this in several places (compiler, runtime, debugger). I'll
put it on the ToDo list.

Hi Friedrich,

could you already check this?

Yes. But we did not increase it (yet) because it would be a major compiler
modification (with unknown side-effects) and definitely requires a public
beta release (an internal development build would not be enough in this
case).

Hi Friedrich,

will you increase this limit for SB8?

No, there are no plans to increase the limit.
