Isn't the convention to suffix a name with an underscore when it would clash with a builtin? (range_, list_, type_, etc.) I'm not sure how much I like that stylistically, but I've seen it used a lot. (I think in some cases there are better alternatives -- e.g. instead of naming a variable "seq" or "list_", I'd have the name specify what it's a list *of*.)
