There's no guarantee that all action types will always be suitable for use in C-style variables. In principle (say for extension-generated actions) they could be arbitrary Unicode strings. It's perfectly plausible that they might contain hyphens, say, which would immediately cause a fatal error here. Besides, generating one variable for each member of an arbitrary list is just wrong. That's what arrays are *for*.
