Nobody's perfect?
My other thought is that since parameters are read-only by default it's not
thought you'd have to write it much so clarity wins out over brevity, the flip
side of Huffamn encoding. But that doesn't work out so good for normal
variable declarations. The verbosity (which a hyphen would only make worse)
discourages "const-ing", as they say in C.
