I never "stopped" at any point. I made a concious decision, because of what
I perceived as a value to me, to *start* to specifically distinguish
*components* from other identifiers via the use of prefixes. I never
considered using prefixes for anything else, thus it was never a matter of
deciding better of it or stopping short.
