I think the usual method has been to use the script name without the
.vim extension, followed by an underscore, followed by the
particular variable name. For example, syntax/sh.vim uses g:sh_isk
and g:sh_noisk. Unfortunately, that same script also uses
g:is_kornshell and others which I think should really be
g:sh_is_kornshell, etc.

Even that doesn't absolutely guarantee that there will be no
collisions, but it's probably good enough.
