It's funny.  But have you noticed that this _is_ Hungarian
notation?  In the very sense which the original article suggested
it could be.  Not in the unfortunate way which is so popular yet
so not useful.  It's not the idea which was bad, it's those who
found a rule to cling to without getting the point of it who gave
it a bad smell.
