Re: Suffix _T for types found good

One other thing to note: Once I got used to reading and writing code using
these conventions, I found:
1) It makes reading code that follows these conventions a lot easier
2) It makes reading code that does not follow these conventions harder
(you get used not having to infer based on context).

This is the problem with getting attached to any particular convention.

If you review a lot of other people's code, you tend to learn how to look past
a lot of these conventions.

There also tends to be a standard naming convention for each language, and
that in fact is the best convention to use, even if you don't completely agree
with it. The reason is that this maximizes how your code can be reviewed and
maintained by others.
