There should be a Mechanical Turk service where you can paste your
function and then get a max-voted-up recommended spelling. It'd be a
great outlet for OCD plagued programmers like myself to spend Saturday
mornings over coffee :)

It does come down to common sense. If a single letter variable is not
clear, throw in a few extra.

This is why I like the "obvious" standard. It's of course subjective,
but it's something a group of programmers can converge on, and then
work toward. The result is hopefully one of Joe's "very hard"
iterations of correctness and maintainability.
