[opendx-dev] Name-space collisions
I noticed that some internal names have been changed to avoid conflicts with name-space collisions - good idea. In one of the most painful (painful as in tedious - my idea of true pain is tedium) episodes in DX history, we went through and changed all externally visible function names to have a _dxf prefix, and all externally visible data names to begin with _dxd. Some separated the prefix from the names with an underscore, eg _dxf_foo, while others didn't - eg. _dxffoo. Now in the intervening years its not clear that we've been completely consistant, but we have tried to be. I think it'd be a good idea to try to preserve this. Greg

For internal functions then, do you want them to be _dxf_function-name? I will fix the ones I just did if that's the case?
