That's what std.datetime and std.file do. Regardless, member variables often 
need a different naming scheme from normal variables thanks to properties that 
have the same name. That can go in the style guide, but I don't think that the 
naming scheme for private member variables or local variables is as important 
as the public ones, since they're part of the API. It would still be good to 
be consistent (like it's good to be consistent with braces), but when it comes 
to names, the primary concern is the public API.
