No fear of that. I was just trying to understand the example I

For example in D you could have a public property length and a
private member _length.
This seems like a good practice.
In this case I've seen some other annoying conventions, for
example private member variables being prefixed with m_
The things I missed by not getting my degree... or by not keeping

Thanks, Xavier.
