You really put a different spin on the whole debate with this example.
Up to this point I think people were just expressing different naming
conventions for types and objects in the "problem" space.  With
"_Pointer" you are stepping into implementation details.  Maybe in a
small local scope such conventions won't hurt you too much but I hope
you don't propose suffixes such as _Pointer, (or others that I combat
daily --> _Record, _List, _Array) for any type names that are exposed in
package specs.
