Another variation on this technique I've heard of is using 'd_' to prefix
data members, and 's_' to prefix static members.

I seem to remember yet another variation: something about using the printf
code as the first letter (to remind the user what the type is), but I can't
find the article, and it seems like that would break down when it comes to
non-concrete types...
