Whenever you have variables pointing to indexed parts or to consecutive
snippets you may want to use variables like
violin1 =
violin2 =
or
flute_phrase01 =
flute_phrase02 =
or similar.
This is expressive as LilyPond code per se, and would be accessible for
scripting, e.g. to generate stub files with empty varialbes.
The workaround using roman numbers is pretty cumbersome, and I think
violin_02_34 would be much more comprehensible to most users than
violinIIxxxiv
