Except in nested loops: Which integer is being incremented, the inner
loop or outer loop? If the outer loop used outer instead of i, and the
inner loop used inner instead of j, then the loop being incremented is
obvious.
Idioms make sense as long as they're *your* idioms. To others it's
confusing.

is it that much work to type a few extra characters and make the name
meaningful?
Sometimes single char names are clearer.
E.g. in for loops, using i and j is such a common idiom that renaming
won't necessarily improve readability.

I noticed that some of the CSV methods uses "int l" (ell).
This is unfortunately very similar to 1 (one) in many fonts.
ExtendedBufferedReader.read(...) and UnicodeUnescapeReader.read(...)
both do this.
Now that would perhaps be a good candidate for a CheckStyle report ?!
P.S. the subject has 1 (one) then l (ell) then I (upper-case i) in
case you cannot tell.
