Even where the convention isn&#x27;t to use natural language names, something like this is fairly common (e.g., in lots of fairly terse functional language the convention is to use, e.g., &quot;xs&quot; for a list and &quot;x&quot; for a member -- in some with destructuring matching on lists, the convention is &quot;xs&quot; for the list, &quot;x&quot; for the head, and &quot;xr&quot; for the tail (rest) of the list.)
