What is the reasoning behind the choice of identifiers u, v, w, x, and y in the specification? I can see why a, b, f, and m were chosen in the contexts they're used, but I can't do the same for the letters near the end of the alphabet.

w is mainly used in the comonad spec because that's how it is in Control.Comonad (upside-down m, I guess!)

Can we close this one, or create a PR with suggested fixes?
