Notes
quoted names set in small typewriter font
132 ;;Quote: the Hungarian naming convention incorporates a type and a qualifier in each name; e.g., 'cpLim' for a limit
132 ;;Quote: for type tags use two or three characters; may be random, must correspond to types
134 ;;Quote: for variants of a type tag, append another letter or two; e.g., 'cp' for character pointer
135 ;;Quote: name qualifiers may distinguish quantities have the same type
135+;;Quote: for boolean ('f' tag) variables, describe the condition under which the variable is true; e.g., 'fOpen'
135+;;Quote: for values in enumerated sets, the qualifier describes the particular element; e.g., 'coRed'
136 ;;Quote: use the qualifier 'Lim' to indicate one beyond the last element of an array; better than 'Last'; 'Lim-First' is the number of elements
