Variable names, people!

Once again thanks go to Google for funding my summer work!

If you've ever been frustrated with unhelpful variable names, perhaps you'll appreciate the planned changes for the partition backtrack algorithm I'm working on currently:

Theta -> orbits_of_subgroup
index -> subgroup_primary_orbit_size
size -> subgroup_size
L -> max_len_of_fp_and_mcr
l -> index_in_fp_and_mcr
Phi -> fixed_points_of_generators
Omega -> minimal_cell_reps_of_generators
W -> vertices_to_split
nu -> current_ps
zeta -> first_ps
rho -> label_ps
h -> first_meets_current
hb -> label_meets_current
hh -> current_kids_are_same
ht -> first_kids_are_same
Lambda -> current_indicators
zf -> first_indicators
zb -> label_indicators
hzf -> first_and_current_indicator_same
hzb -> label_and_current_indicator_same
