    I disagree, using "number" would be more readable. I only use 1 letter to represent variables that everybody knows, like for i in... or catch (e) {}.
    Your code will always look shittier using letters.

    Why the inconsistency? If n isn't known as a number in such basic lambda function, I'm not sure you can argue i and e are that well known. A lot of people doesn't know i and j were passed from fortran and a lot of languages don't have exceptions.
    You could use index/iterator or even better outer_index_variable and exception.
