In particular for a function -- n, m, etc or x, y, etc? What about for f' defined in a let block of f? If I use x y at the top level I need to use another set below -- is that where x' y' are more appropriate, or x1, y1?
Usual style is x',y'.
This seems to be a matter of taste. x1, y1 are certainly ok, too.
For longer names, camelCase is the usual convention but some libraries which basically import everything from C via the FFI use C_style_names. Imported constants/macros which are uppercase with _ tend to be mapped to tHIS_KIND_OF_NAME (see for example the Win32 package).
Is this considered an accident or a feature? I'd prefer to convert these identifiers to thisKindOfName. There is also a collection of articles about style: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Category:Style
