Very true. I have shifted from looping 'N-1 to 0' to looping 'N
to 1', naming the loop variable ith and not i, making 0 a natural
sentinel value for ith in C-style (ith = N; ith > 0; --ith).
The above is part of a late realization for me, as to how
under-used and mis-used naming conventions are in programming. I
appreciate "object-oriented style" C even more now for this
reason (bespoke code in commercial settings, I wouldn't know
about glib/gtk).
Maybe -betterC with template support suffices for most
programming use-cases (and we should be using dynamically typed
languages for everything else).
