Hungarian Notation

[inhahe]

Well, I just need it once in a while.  Actually now is the only time I 
remember.  The last time what I needed was a file name extension.  I want a 
string called headers, but I want to derive a dict from it, also called 
headers.  So I figured the string would be called strHeaders, and the dict, 
dctHeaders probably, but when a precedent for something like that exists, I 
like to use it.
