The "prefix approach pattern" is used a long time in arguments, e.g.,
AValue (I prefer aValue).
We do not have case-sensitive so, everything should have a prefix or
something to distinguish an indentifier of other (types, classes,
interfaces, units, etc);

I'm just following the pattern of language.  ;-)
