I can't say I agree with this, as it pollutes the global namespace with
several common terms that could be used for fields.
I'd argue that should not be considered a problem in this case:

Plus, having to [**occasionally**] change a "minutes" to "numMinutes" (or
something, frankly, much more descriptive) is a hell of a lot better than
having to use 'dur!"minutes"(5)' instead of 'minutes(5)'.
I find both equally descriptive and neither one too offensive. All things
being equal, dur wins because it consumes only one top-level symbol, and
is already there.
This is all my opinion of course, and we've already seen how much affect
that has ;)
