The name like "walkLength" was chosen (by you?), instead of a more
natural name like "length" (or even a nice, short, clean, readable,
handy and easer to write name like "len" as in Python) to underline that
walkLength could be O(n).
"length" was already taken, and it seemed unbecoming to have "len"
describe the longer operation. I find "walkLength" awesomely suggestive.
