Hungarian notation

Hungarian notation in a coding style adopted by MS for C development under Windows. This variable naming technique claims to harmonize, to improve the readability of the existing variables, so to save time when a project grows. Here is an example list, neither official nor fixed (the prefixes are usually based on the information theory, which concludes that consonants can be inferred in the middle of vowels. It uses too, the Camel case notation a lot). The name refection tool is perfect to use this technique easily.
