In recent versions of Dyalog APL I've tried to create variables whose name
was 10000 characters and long and it all worked. Except for playing
interesting tricks of encoding the content in the container's name (APL is
an interpreted language with good reflection capabilities) I don't see the
point for such things, but it's possible.
