I guess this could be true. But I don't understand why someone would need
an "easy" way to identify variables? Why not an easy way to identify
function names? Or constants?
In any case, I don't recall anyone complaining that they had trouble
"identifying variables" in C, C++, Modula, Pascal, Java, etc.
