Humble submission to the cause - using "the" and "it" in a scripting language to avoid having to come up with variable names all the time.

Way back, I'd designed a scheme-based scripting language called "muSE" [1] in which we created specifications for video editing styles. I also toyed with the language. One such experiment was having a way to refer to values already computed using "the" and "it". [2]
