I prefer "_Type"; it doesn't try to introduce any more meaning than is already there from the language rules. At least we agree that some noise in the type name is necessary, due to a wart in the language. I use "wart" to mean "ugliness, but not easy to fix, so we can't call it a bug". -- -- Stephe
