-1.  IMO the variable name should make some kind of sense.  I tend to use s 
for string, b for bool, and i for int for my simple functions..  However, 
things like

> _focused = function( f ) { ... }
> _selected = function( s ) { ... }

I see as far more useful.  I use this kind of naming in the widgets myself; 
f for the new focusable state, s for the new selected state, etc.  To me, 
that makes 10x more sense than an arbitrary variable name that means 
nothing except "variable" -- well duh, I knew that much.  :-)
