Agreed, but that's the programmer's fault for choosing stupid variable
names. (One character names are almost always a bad idea. Names which can
be easily misread are always a bad idea.) Consider how easy it is to
shoot yourself in the foot with plain ASCII:


l1 = 0
l2 = 4
...
pages of code
...
assert 11 + l2 = 4
