An excellent example of how easy it is to make confusing identifiers.
I keep reading examples in style guides where someone says a declaration like
  const int two = 3;
is bad.  Well, two = 3 is obvious, but the one above isn't.

What could be clearer than day d+1 being one day past day d?
Yet d+1 is not d plus one.

Some programmers say that the single most difficult task in progrmming
is thinking of good variable names.  I'm inclined to agree.
