This is what the D style guide suggests.

For member variables, I personally prefix the non-public variables with 
"m_" and non-public static member variables with "sm_".

I avoid leading underscore prefixes because they are reserved for C/C++ 
standard library use.  It's easiest to just avoid this format entirely 
than risk the rare chance of a collision.
