This can lead to false assumptions when one should

the naming to be inconsistent with the declaration makes encoding the

frustrated running into variable names in C that had the type encoded
originally, but someone changed the type in the declaration without
changing the variable name.
Which is precisely why encoding type information into a symbol name is a
bad idea.
