Editors can of course do things of their own to help you on this front. For example, Eclipse CDT has semantic highlighting and can highlight parameters differently from local variables. The C++ language server clangd (which is designed to be able to plug into any editor) recently acquired this ability as well. I'm not saying this is a reason to retire the 'aFoo' convention (I'd wait until technologies like the above are a bit more ubiquitous before doing that), just mentioning the above tools because I've found them very useful for editing Mozilla C++ code.
