Re: Overview of variable naming conventions

[Alan Frank]

I'm not actively involved in this project, but I'd like to share my own 
perspective on general principles, which is that names (of anything) 
should only describe, they should not carry metadata.  People should 
generally not change their names due to personal transitions, 
municipalities should not change names based on form of government, and 
names of software entities should not need to change if their datatype 
or scope changes.
