Internal/external names distinction. It's always ugly.

  Yeah, I can't understand the need for it :)

    It allows you to specify reserved words as parameter names which you would otherwise be unable to use. Ruby has this problem with keyword parameters and you need to use `binding.local_variable_get(:NAME)` to get such a reserved word.

      There are not that many reserved words, and you can always use a different word ;)

        Sometimes a different word is the wrong word.
