Finnish notation

I present here an application of the Hungarian notation for languages 
using Lisp-style syntax.

Instead of studly caps, e.g. strName, we use lower-case variable names 
with a components separated by a hyphen, e.g. str-name. Each variable 
has a prefix that depends on its type. Here are the prefixes for 
primitive types:

  * symbol: s
  * string: str
  * boolean: b
  * integer: i
  * real: r
  * character: ch

Pairs are prefixed by p, lists by l and vectors by v. These prefixes can 
be combined with other prefixes: e.g. a list of symbols may be named as 
l-s and a vector of reals as v-r.

For an object type, the name of the type without brackets is used as a 
prefix. E.g. window-main for an object of type <gtk-window>.

Procedures having no side effects and having boolean return value are 
suffixed by ?.
