+\subsection{Matita's naming convention}
+A minor but not entirely negligible aspect of Matita is that of
+adopting a (semi)-rigid naming convention for identifiers, derived by
+our studies about metadata for statements.
+The convention is only applied to identifiers for theorems
+(not definitions), and relates the name of a proof to its statement.
+The basic rules are the following:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item each identifier is composed by an ordered list of (short)
+names occurring in a left to right traversal of the statement;
+\item all identifiers should (but this is not strictly compulsory)
+separated by an underscore,
+\item identifiers in two different hypothesis, or in an hypothesis
+and in the conlcusion must be separated by the string ``\verb+_to_+'';
+\item the identifier may be followed by a numerical suffix, or a
+single or duoble apostrophe.
+
+\end{itemize}
+Take for instance the theorem
+\[\forall n:nat. n = plus \; n\; O\]
+Possible legal names are: \verb+plus_n_O+, \verb+plus_O+,
+\verb+eq_n_plus_n_O+ and so on.
+Similarly, consider the theorem
+\[\forall n,m:nat. n<m \to n \leq m\]
+In this case \verb+lt_to_le+ is a legal name,
+while \verb+lt_le+ is not.\\
+But what about, say, the symmetric law of equality? Probably you would like
+to name such a theorem with something explicitly recalling symmetry.
+The correct approach,
+in this case, is the following. You should start with defining the
+symmetric property for relations
+
+\[definition\;symmetric\;= \lambda A:Type.\lambda R.\forall x,y:A.R x y \to R y x \]
+
+Then, you may state the symmetry of equality as
+\[ \forall A:Type. symmetric \;A\;(eq \; A)\]
+and \verb+symmetric_eq+ is valid Matita name for such a theorem.
+So, somehow unexpectedly, the introduction of semi-rigid naming convention
+has an important benefical effect on the global organization of the library,
+forcing the user to define abstract notions and properties before
+using them (and formalizing such use).
+
+Two cases have a special treatment. The first one concerns theorems whose
+conclusion is a (universally quantified) predicate variable, i.e.
+theorems of the shape
+$\forall P,\dots.P(t)$.
+In this case you may replace the conclusion with the word
+``elim'' or ``case''.
+For instance the name \verb+nat_elim2+ is a legal name for the double
+induction principle.
+
+The other special case is that of statements whose conclusion is a
+match expression.
+A typical example is the following
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \forall n,m:nat.
+ match (eqb n m) with
+ [ true \Rightarrow n = m
+ | false \Rightarrow n \neq m]
+\end{verbatim}
+where $eqb$ is boolean equality.
+In this cases, the name can be build starting from the matched
+expression and the suffix \verb+_to_Prop+. In the above example,
+\verb+eqb_to_Prop+ is accepted.
