And where can i read about naming convention? My guess its not 
documented anywhere and would not be in foreseeable future or 
ever. Also are you sure you are not talking about two letter 
variables like
sc for scope
fd for function declaration
td for template declaration

because I am not proposing to change them. They are 26 times 
better than one letter names and changing them would not bring 
significant benefit. What I want to do is change variables like 
m. Try guessing what it is used for. Hint it is used for 
different things.

What I dont understand is that you are against changing variable 
names that would improve code understandability but you are not 
against changing for loops to foreach that add almost nothing to 
code readability and only look better.

What you dont know about me is that I worked as code 
reviewer/tester/merger at PHP shop and know full well why you 
want pull requests the way you want. I also know how much less 
easier it is to review simple changes like foreach loop changes 
and simple variable renaming
