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.
