New Use leading underscores for ivars - less distracting
I agree that mThing is ugly. Mostly because for most people, reading involves pumping text through a sound generator and then into your auditory processor (hence that little voice in your head when you read). This is why deaf people have a harder time learning to read than the hearing.

OTOH, _thing is good for ivars. I'm never tempted to pronounce the underscore.


That was lovely cheese.
