Choice leads to inconsistency.  I very much prefer the
only-one-variable-per-setq style. It shows much more clearly where the
variable is. It also gives an anchor to quickly navigate to the variable
to get its value.

In a setq list of 10 items, by item 5 it is already unclear which is the
variable and which is the value.  In my opinion, it's not worth
complicating the code maintenance just to save a few chars.
