exalysis check variable names

an option like "-hard" It will mark as mistake "else" and will mark as mistake all the 1 character variable aside those declared inside a for or if statement.

Can you name linters that would do this?

actually, there is none that I know, but I suppose a script that apply a regex looking for those is something possible to implement

Isn't this really a more general question about automated code analyzers for all Exercism languages?

We will probably do something at some point about checking variable names. There are some naming guidelines that are enforced by linters and I would probably start with that.

Note that we are having discussions on this in the auto-mentor project: https://github.com/exercism/automated-mentoring-support/blob/master/docs/guidelines.md#approvability
