Why use a table named p? Why not any other table name? It depends on what you mean, using it where and for what purpose?

If you mean why use it in a regular module, well for me the answer is simple, it facilitates debugging. The console isn't able to retrieve data from any other table, so it becomes a very time consuming thing to debug things.

For example, say I have a function named stealBread:

Debug console:

print(p.stealBread(num))

print(z.stealBooks(num))

I know using p.z.stealBooks will probably work too, but it is too much of a hassle. Although it could be a guideline ins the styleguide.
