Once the code is written and people start to build on top, a change
like this is not worth the code churn, especially because there are
two equally valid schools of naming convention.

 - When you have an array, each of whose 20 slots holds a single
   dosh, I would prefer to call the array dosh[20], not doshes[20],
   so that I can refer to the seventh dosh as "dosh[7]".

 - If you more often refer to the array as a whole (than you refer
   to individual elements) and want to stress the fact that the
   array holds multiple elements in it, I can understand that you
   may be tempted to call the whole array "doshes[]".

So please drop this and other "rename variables" patches from the
series.
