In FORTRAN 77 tmp is not only a temporary variable but in almost any
case a temporary *REAL* variable. A temporary *INTEGER* variable
would be 'itmp' :-> Follows some F77 'Hello, world!'

      IMPLICIT INTEGER(I-N), REAL(A-H,O-Z)

      PRINT *, 'Hello, world!'
      END

There are perhaps more naming conventions than programming languages
(even if you including those languages that don't have variables).
