Note how variable name length did not change in the above.

The last two are also confusing, actually.
Setting `org-latex-preview-display-type' to 'eldoc will sound like it
should affect all the previews.

While applying these customizations globally might have its merits, I'd
like to point out that you are trying to fix variable name length by
adding features. Are you sure that it is so important? Especially given
that we are trying to avoid falling into adding new features.

I think that longer variable names are not *that* much of a big
deal. They are no worse than what you had until now.
