There [are] concerns about namespace pollution and stomping on variables that people may have currently defined
It's proper to address this. But some aspects of tino's or others' proposals are probably less problematic than others, and the plan could perhaps attempt to have different levels of ambition, so that we increase the probability of getting *some* progress. Maybe tino might want to consider splitting the patch into two patches that separately address underscore aliasing and custom loop variables?
