This is essentially hungarian notation, which has widely been determined to be
bad practice and which our style guide specifically calls out _against_:
http://dlang.org/dstyle.html
Marking a variable with something about what it's for makes sense. Marking it
with something about its type is counter-productive.
Regardless, I really don't think that we're going to change our naming
conventions at this point. Doing so would either break a lot of code or result
in all of our new stuff having different naming conventions from our old stuff,
and we don't want to do either.
