Well, we could go all out and change the argument names in explicit
definitions to l and r for left and right instead of x and y moving the
problem to less commonly used one character names. But I don't think
this will fly. Always thought that the names x. and y. were backwards
anyway. I always wanted x/x. to be the right argument and y/y. to be
the left argument.

I agree. Very unfortunate especially since we math oriented folks
readily use these one letter variables. We have centuries of tradition
behind x and y and z for example.

The names x., y. et all were special and looked special; fine but
eliminating any part of the a through Z series as regular nouns I
believe to
be unfortunate.
