That makes sense, thanks. I'll have to consider that in light of
other projects. It's a good convention. Of course one convention
that Python uses internally that really annoys the devil out of
me is defining functions like this:

ReturnType
MyFunction ( ... );

Why? Greppying through the file will fail to yield the return
type of the function.

BLEACH. I HATE that. :)
