I'm imagining increasingly catastrophic variable names ("__SECRET_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_YOUR_SOUL_WILL_BE_CONDEMNED_TO_HELL_FOR_ETERNITY") followed by increasingly comical workaround requests ("OK, yeah, so if I'm Buddhist, and we don't believe in hell, can I access this property?")

Easy. Like everything else in software another level of indirection can help. You can threaten hell and experience it while maintaining code with functions & variables like __SECRET_INTERNALS.IAM_A_BUDDHIST.IAM_WILLING_TO_VISIT_NARAKA_BY_USING_THIS.VARIABLE_FROM_HELL_1 __SECRET_INTERNALS.IAM_AN_ATHEIST.I_ACCEPT_THERE_IS_GOD.GOD_VARIABLE_1
