So I'm not normal. ;) I *always* use them. Makes life easier.

IBTD. I even often use the same names for same things, but in different 
units (like Open/Close, ...). I don't see any reason to not use the 
unit-name for identifiers. This also avoids C-like prefixes to each 
name. One usually does the same with OOP techniques where each 
constructor is called Init or Create. ;-)

And BTW, it is not very long ago that this actually saved me from 
intermixing Objects.NewStr with SysUtils.NewStr.
