eh eh eh...

first: it's not about renaming all the existing counters... but how to choose the future ones...


and about apples: the problem is that you see "a"... and at that point you just know that the thing being counted starts by "a" but you don't know what it is. you have to go and look for the loop definition to know that "for (a = 0; a = apples.count(); ++a)"


however: not a big issue, just a thing that brings me a bit more of work :-)
