They're also meaningless to this programmer of 30 years.
Meaningful variable names are the first to fifth rules of programming.
Even assembler language, in the depths of last century, had 'em.

I did spot on the web page that emc lacked named variables when that
code snippet was wrought. It is an encouraging sign that the emc virtual
machine has advanced from that ancient primitive state, though.
