The convention for that in a few other languages is the name 'aux', such as 
in this copy/paste, perhaps that same convention could be brought in for 
that purpose?

  let rle list =
    let rec aux count acc = function
      | [] -> [] (* Can only be reached if original list is empty *)
      | [x] -> (x, count + 1) :: acc
      | a :: (b :: _ as t) ->
         if a = b then aux (count + 1) acc t
         else aux 0 ((a, count + 1) :: acc) t  in aux 0 [] list
