It seems that you probably right - there is a good reason to keep things= convenient to Ada related environment. Perhaps, interface of some sort o= f = C that lie on C naming is indeed a mangled names used to import, and is not going to be human = convenient. BTW, initially GL library from MS had no gl prefix. Do we need operate mangled names in a high level language? Which standard we should apply here? -- = =D0=9D=D0=B0=D0=BF=D0=B8=D1=81=D0=B0=D0=BD=D0=BE =D0=B2 =D0=BF=D0=BE=D1=87= =D1=82=D0=BE=D0=B2=D0=BE=D0=BC =D0=BA=D0=BB=D0=B8=D0=B5=D0=BD=D1=82=D0=B5= =D0=B1=D1=80=D0=B0=D1=83=D0=B7=D0=B5=D1=80=D0=B0 Opera: http://www.oper= a.com/mail/
