naming conventions - What is your alternative name for ID variable in Objective-C?

Question

Since "id" is a keyword in Objective-C what alternative name do you use for ID variable (e.g. PK field)?

Answer 1

I think it should be noted that the compiler can distinguish between id in the type specifier position and id in the variable name position. That is,

NSUInteger id;
id = 10;

will compile just fine (as, indeed, will id id; id = [NSNumber numberWithInt:10];). (You could also uppercase it: ID.) That said, those are all horrible ideas. Don't use them. Forget I even said that.

The style in Cocoa programming is to tend towards verbosity, so (as all the earlier answers have suggested) the best practice is probably to write it all out: identifier or dinglehopferID.
