use a dict or list? This is almost certainly a design smell - and a 
pretty strong one, too.. Nobody is using so many variables and actually 
typing them - so there certainly is some naming scheme that could be 
used to access the values from a dict.

Or, to put it differently: show us the code that uses thousands of 
variables, and we show you how to improve that.
