Only because I’ve needed/wanted numbered variables literally thousands of times
in the past 15 years of using Lilypond, whereas I’ve not even once ever
needed/wanted
var = "foo"
\lyricmode { \var2 \var4 \var2 }
So I’m cheering on the newbie-feature-requesters because this feature, if
implemented, would markedly improve my life as an engraver, whereas the
limitations that might be introduced would (as far as I can tell) have zero
effect either way on my engraving needs.
Cheers,
Kieren.
