OK, so it's only tangentally related, but... do you have *any idea* how many times I've written something like

 let x = (some complex function of x)
 in (some other complex function of x)

when in fact what I *meant* to do was type x' instead of x?!

I try not to use primes (x', x'', etc.) on variables for exactly this reason, and instead try to use more descriptive names, such as "newx", or "y", or whatever. Of course you can still make typing mistakes, but that's always the case...
