reverse

Whether to apply the inversion of the shortening logic, i.e. to restore original/unshortened variable names.

max_n_char

Maximum allowed number of characters. It is ensured that the maximum resulting variable name length doesn't exceed this limit. Has no influence on the applied shortening logic. An integerish scalar or Inf for no limit.
