ummm...some of us programming polyglots do it all the time in certain
languages. It actually goes back to a Smalltalk convention where you
named parameters to distfix operators "aType". It actually made for
very readable code. And it is *far* less noxious than Hungarian.

Mind you I *don't* do that in Scheme because it's frankly stupid in
Scheme's semantic domain to say that. But in other languages you are
having multiple simultaneous conversations with the compiler. So it
make sense. Sorta...
