we originally settled on the _ suffix for names that are reassignable with var, but that was before static dispatch, and the _ suffix looks really unfortunate with static dispatch: :sweat_smile:
iter_ = iter_.next()
it looks fine with the runner-up, which was a $ prefix:
$iter = $iter.next()
seems like we should go back to that instead - what do others think?
I think $ looks better in general.
