This is not persuasive since 'red' is not the only option in this case
('brand-color' seems more like what it is). No prefix naming convention
will prevent anyone from using poor variable names that will confuse them
later.
>'var-' is less generic than 'set-', so the intention is clearer.
var- and var() are completely generic hence the suggestion to have set-
and get- to convey which does what.
