Whilst you could say they sound like booleans, they clearly can't be as that wouldn't make sense, e.g. "Ignoring variables in basehash" makes no sense. Secondly, most metadata variables are lists of things. Adding "LIST" to every variable that is a list of items would just make the variable names much longer with little end resulting readability gain. Unfortunately there likely isn't a perfect rename and these were the best we were able to come up with. Cheers, Richard
