I'm all for tricks that make 'coding in the small' easier, but grain of salt on this -- reading a large codebase, esp one with external dependencies, is a separate problem. In my day to day life (and not everybody is me, I know) the large program reading problem is THE problem; comprehending functions is a nice bonus but not as hard. In small functions, I wish variable names were automatic based on type. If a function has only one local of type T, it should automatically get name t or something.
