Other than using go and foo', what do people use in Haskell?
I tend to use 'go' for recursive or iterative functions. Which I belive is the original dons idiom. I occasionally use foo', but it is all too easy to write foo when you mean foo', and, which is worse, it occasionally happens to compile.
I use f, if I need several auxiliary functions I start at f and work my way up alphabetically.

makeValid path = joinDrive drv $ validElements $ validChars pth where (drv,pth) = splitDrive path
validChars x = map f x f x | x `elem` badCharacters = '_' | otherwise = x
In cases like this, I use names like 'foo1', since it does 'foo' for one element. So here I'd name 'f' something like 'valid1'. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
