I think the more interesting area actually is defining names for a bunch
of variables, e.g. msgno, recno.  "mailbox" rather than "the_box" - so
that patterns are searchable more easily.

That and I've made 'struct buf' a bit more powerful - it would be good
to have a standard way to use it, and to use other classes.  There's
already a "use xmalloc and friends" in the docs, but some of the newer
stuff is less clearly specified.
