308 represents too much cruft.  Most examples look good as one-liners with
short names.  They do not look so good with longer names.  Here is an
example:

   z_of_useful_length = 1.0 + (if abs(z_of_useful_length) < .0001:  0 else:
z_of_useful_length)

The above long-name can be expressed in current Python in nearly the same
number of characters as

   if abs(z_of_useful_length) < .0001:
       z_of_useful_length = 1.0
   else:
       z_of_useful_length += 1.0

... much more readable.
