It's more that I'm not sure how you manage to write or read that quickly
or easily. I could *do* it, on the read side at least, but it would take
work; it's not anything close to readable.

If it works for you, then it's not a fatal defect by any means, but it
does tend to get in the way when sharing code with others (as here).

That said, yes, I do tend to use longer (descriptive, not abbreviated)
variable names and include moderately extensive comments in my shell
scripts, just as in my other code. I find that it helps greatly in
understanding what I've written, both at the time and when revisiting it
later.
