>>Now, try translating code that complies with both of these into a publishing medium with 56-character line lengths and limited article space. You're suddenly faced with tradeoffs between including "m." and longer var names, and needing to truncate code or text of your article because each of those force you to word-wrap your code...

For sure. Your editing has been great. Just a dated Ragan media constraint. When I published CodeBlock (now 10 years ago -- yikes!) in FoxTalk 1, we were still using 10-char field names, thus we were accustomed to creating short (cryptic) names for everything. Somehow that constraint didn't seem so limiting back then.
