I&#x27;m all for tricks that make &#x27;coding in the small&#x27; easier, but grain of salt on this -- reading a large codebase, esp one with external dependencies, is a separate problem. In my day to day life (and not everybody is me, I know) the large program reading problem is THE problem; comprehending functions is a nice bonus but not as hard.<p>In small functions, I wish variable names were automatic based on type. If a function has only one local of type T, it should automatically get name t or something.
