I think this issue is a distraction.

It isn't the names of variables which really matters, it's the names of
types, their interfaces, and how to reflect the larger scale intellectual
organization in a good notation and naming convention which ought to be 
the central issue.

As usual Bertrand Meyer makes a go of this important matter.
