My two cents: use `identity`, or `id` if it absolutely must be ridiculously concise, but keep it simple. In my opinion, functional programmers will almost universally expect one of those two, and everyone else probably won't care because the concept will be new to them. I can't say that I've found myself missing the lack of a standard library `identity` function thus far, but I can see the benefit in readability if we start seeing it replace usages of anonymous functions that just return their argument.
