Re: [development] 'name' column length in variables

Well, for variables, since most are tied to one module or another why not just give them a module namespace? variable_get('usernodes', 'myvar', $default); That does a better job of avoiding name collision than we have now and keeps each column shorter.

I'm pretty sure someone had a DEP at one point to rewrite the variable system that touched on this. Whoever it is, I apologize for forgetting your name. :-)

It was Adrian, and Allie expanded on it (or the other way round). I think it tied a realm/domain to the variable, and was called cascading variables at one point.
