i was providing the example to what John was pointing out about the
futility of including type information in identifiers when there isn't
an enforcement mechanism.  in this case, presumably the variable named
pszBesmirchesAllHungariansEverywhereNotation is a 'pointer to zero
terminated string ...', which it clearly isn't.

I don't mind the mixed case names and the names in the main Go
packages seem very reasonable and easy to remember.
