10 One potential issue with using a short generic name is the potential
11 for variable name collisions. It's mainly an issue if we want to
12 mark the variable readonly during normal ebuild phases. If the
13 variable is marked readonly then bash will not allow that variable
14 name to be used as either a global or a _local_ variable. Maybe it
15 doesn't really matter though.
