That's not at all the traditional definition of variable. A variable is the code-lexical representation of a value in memory. (Think "variable" in algebra, which is the formula-lexical representation of an abstract value).
Anyways we can't have traditional counters, because of 1) lexical scoping rules and 2) value immutability.
