But then you would actually consult it each time?  It's much easier to
just always customize your variable names.  I use variables like 'time'
and 'player' all the the time, but I customize them as zaTime and
zaPlayer (because I like to script in a German/Japanese accent).  I have
automatically done this ever since the first time I was 'nailed' by this
same error.
