A few version back : (colon) and . (period) worked.  I used : to 
separate my library name from the rest of the name.  I wish there was 
some name space help.

I had used ? at the end for functions that returned true or false.  
(Just like P in lisp.)  I now use 'is' as a prefix.  If runrev blessed 
? in names I would go back.

Now I don't use the above characters except sometimes I use an 
underline to separate a module name or private prefix from the rest of 
the name.
