It stands for State.
When I first started coding Lift, I was using emacs and wanted to have short
names for everything... especially the commonly used stuff.

I wanted to isolate state into a single place so every time you dealt with
S, you know you were doing something stateful (rather than purely functional
with no side effects... with the exception of RDBMS related stuff which is
stateful on its face.)

S has morphed into S, SHtml, RequestVars and SessionVars... but all the
explicit state is still kept in S.

Does that help?

Thanks,

David
