Well, we could go somewhere in between those and do something like srcIdx and 
dstIdx. Short doesn't necessarily mean hard to understand or non-obvious. The 
trick is to pick abbrevations which are clear. But if you can't, then I tend 
to think that longer, more descriptive names are better than short ones, 
especially when you consider that more people than just you may have to 
maintain the code later.
