This is essentially hungarian notation, which has widely been determined to be bad practice and which our style guide specifically calls out _against_: http://dlang.org/dstyle.html Marking a variable with something about what it's for makes sense. Marking it with something about its type is counter-productive. Regardless, I really don't think that we're going to change our naming conventions at this point. Doing so would either break a lot of code or result in all of our new stuff having different naming conventions from our old stuff, and we don't want to do either. - Jonathan M Davis
