in thread $var{el} += 1 vs $var{el} = $var{el} + 1

The variable and key names have been changed to protect the (not so) innocent. We do have long-ish variable names as rule for clarity's sake (e.g. movementCount or movementType). It does sort of decrease readability, but increases comprehension six months later when a code review occurs.
