It is less-prone to have a different variable name from the one in a wider
scope. This is also flagged by GCC (W=2):

I don't think this makes much sense. This is bound to eventually clash
with another variable, and you're back to square one.

Thanks,

Yes, perhaps. We don't have a namespace feature in C. Thanks for taking
a look, Marc.
