1.  If you mean longer string versus shorter string, surely the
difference in length is not relevant either to system performance or
code complexity.

2.  If you mean something about "interpreting" the string carefully,
then it is important to be careful about assessing complexity.  If the
code must be careful to make sure that it is interpreting the "simpler"
string in the correct context, then the code will be considerably more
complex than needed to interpret a self-defining identifier.
