Mmm.  Actually, I used even more capital letters.  In my patch if you
wanted to avoid BLOCK_HEAD, you would write BASIC_BLOCK(b)->head.  I
used the varray bits so that the array would have bounds checking
enabled with --enable-checking. 

However, in new code I most often wrote things like

	for (i = 0; i < n_basic_blocks; ++i)
	  {
	    basic_block b = BASIC_BLOCK (i);
	    edge e;

	    for (e = b->succ; e ; e = e->succ_next)
	      ...
	  }

Which does not have an overabundance of capital letters.  ;-)
