Yes. Actually I have done that in the past, and it worked.
But there are architectural considerations that make this approach
not what I am looking for.
I could also prep the data in the DOM, to split textual values, say
into <line> elements. But that would be very complicated once I want
to layout several columns. Incidentally it was at the attempt of
several columns that I first hit this maxvars issue.
All this because there a limit here that most people would
agree with makes no sense on modern hardware.

Yes, there is I think.

I am not sure how that would make the requirement for variable
creation at recursion go away. I need to create at least one
variable at each recursion step, don't I? I could try to compress
all information I need at any recursive step into one variable, but
it would make the code close to unreadable.
