If it makes a difference, I actually keep p, pe, and eof in my "struct" for managing ragel state, so if %access defined a prefix for *all* state variables, then it would be a welcome change from my perspective.
Although Adrian is right about p, pe, and eof being rather "transient", I find it easier to write functions that take a single "struct" argument that manages the ragel state. This way I can write a function called state_machine that encapsulates all my actions for the state machine, but ends up delegating each action to a function that takes the "struct" as an argument. I just find this way of writing code is easier for me and my editor to digest.
