I don't think this was ever our intent. It was, I think, an issue whiich was discussed on the Wiki in relation to prefixes like "m_". It was rejected there, and because it was not proceded with, it has disappeared from both the wiki and the web page.

This is usually a good idea but may cause quite a bit of work.
