Common practice indeed, worth noted explicitly, thanks for that. The sam=
e  =

occurs also with S for a string parameter which is really just a string.=


But the shorter a name is, the more likely conflict raises. When it  =

occurs, using two letters identifier looks quicly hugly and drafty, so t=
he  =

best is then to fall=E2=80=91back to regular short names.
