I tend to agree with Thilo that prefixing locals with l: is mandatory for defensive coding. I actually used names like 'lnum', and I had problems before forgetting to declare variables in the indent script. Combine it and you hit variables with wider scipe. Every abbreviated name seems to already have a meaning anyway For readability I don't like it very much. I would prefer having to prefix everything else with s:, v: whatever and keep the locals clean so one can focus on the algorithm. The updated script can be found at the link from the earlier posts.
