The syntax identifies properties, so why give them a special prefix?
I use "u" before my custom property names to distinguish them from
built-in properties for several reasons. First, I won't be bollixed
when new properties are added to the built-in properties that
happen to collide with my well-thought out property name;
This is the number one reason why I add prefixes to property and
variable names. If you ever have to convert a Hypercard stack which
contains many variables whose names are now reserved words under Rev,
you'll appreciate the grief it can cause. Even the risk of high-speed
candy from Dar won't deter me. :-)
