Idiomatic way to avoid variable shadowing in Nim

Question

Suppose that I want to define a variable called sum, but the name collides with some predefined function. In Python, I would write something like _sum or sum_ to refer to the local variable. However, using underscore in Nim leads to an invalid token error. Is there an accepted naming convention to deal with such cases?

Answer 1

Change both to more descriptive names like sumProducts, sumHorses.
