What is the _C_ prefix supposed to indicate exactly?
Names that begin with an underscore followed by an uppercase
letter or another underscore are reserved for the implementation.
Right. That's specified in the standard.
The 'C' means Class member. We considered 'M' (for Member)
but that convention was already in use in at least two other
implementations.
We typically use __rw_ to prefix for names of types in the
__rw namespace. Local variables and parameters are usually
prefixed with __, and member variables and typedefs usually
get the _C_ prefix.
I assume you mean typedefs that are also members of a class.
Yes. There is no convention for local typedefs other than
that they match the "^_[A-Z]" RE.

So the _C_ prefix simply indicates that the name is internal member
of a class? Okay, just wanna make sure I have these (undocumented)
naming conventions straight. :)
