Make it 63 (31?) to align with what C99 can distinguish.

Also: I really like unicode in identifiers. So if at all possible don’t just have a random string of letters and numbers, make sure to include greek letters and all the funny emojis. (I just forgot which languages and compilers etc allow that.)

For extra fun, you can name your variables using solely Unicode invisible characters (e.g. non-breaking space) so they’re impossible to visually distinguish

Wingdings is a font and has no effect on the actual code. Only people who set their IDE font to wingdings will see wingdings

Remove all fonts from the devs computers except for Wingdings and Webdings.
