If I have a type Object_Value, it's because the best object/parameter name is 
not Object_Value. If the best name is Object_Value, then there is still a better 
type name than unthinkingly appending _T to the best name.

Obviously this is a contrived example, but _Value is usually not the best choice 
for an object/parameter name.
