I'm a wee bit embarrassed to have to ask after all this time, but: does
anyone have any quick guidelines and/or mnemonics for the prefix
conventions of the Pd sources?  My intuitions say something like:
d_*  : DSP stuff
g_*  : GUI stuff
m_*  : ?
s_*  : "system" stuff (?)
x_*  : ?

from src/CHANGELOG.txt (funny place for stuffing coding standards):

  s    system interface
  m    message system
  g    graphics stuff
  d    DSP objects
  x    control objects
  z    other
  t    TK front end

So it's "x" as in "control" and "z" as in "other". But because of my nationality i'm familiar with names ending in "lx", so "controlx" makes almost as much sense as "otherz".

Well, actually, "s" stands for "miscellaneous", which doesn't start with an "s", but just like "nietzsche" it has "s" in it.
