There may be some marginal de facto naming standards, but, given that 
we're having this discussion, there is room for clarification and improvement.

I have a hard time believing that anyone would be baffled
by the use of 'documents' instead of 'docs', or 'binary'
for 'bin,' and, in general, I prefer more-obvious naming conventions.

Sounds like an argument for everyone to learn C with Hungarian notation.
