You can easily use multi-character conditionals, up to 256 chars.

The documentation describing the use of conditionals uses a single character (letter or number) for names of conditions.  I don't see any update/change to that rule anywhere in the docs.

I have been using multi-character condition names successfully.   I find these are easier to use since they can be more descriptive of each condition.   It works, but I am concerned I may be doing something that might not be supported going forward.   (It is simple enough to change these, but I'd prefer to know if this practice is acceptable.)

Thank you, again, for this fine (and, may I add, fun?) tool.  I'm having a good time with it!
