There is a lot of code you have not seen. Really. In informal code I
use 's' and 'o' for 'self' and 'other'. I don't usually post such
because it is not considered polite. So you have seen a biased sample
of the universe.
You take the name down to a single letter. As I suggested in an
earlier post on this thread, why not take it down to zero letters?
Because 1 letter is legal now, while no letters (already proposed and
rejected) is a major change and breakage of current simplicity and
consistency for zero functional benefit.
