So [shadowing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_shadowing) is synonymous w/ name hiding which is not really the case here. I will concede it is consistent with how we are using elsewhere but this PR is probably not the place to change it. So I will drop the objection and probably file a bug report.
