To each their own. But man imagine if you have a collection of stuff that has a large name, and then having to figure out a short name other than e when iterating. I hope you're not iterating over chemical names ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

No need to be over-descriptive. Anything at all more specific than e will probably be a better name
