Raul,

I often thought that the primitives were named with a leading capital
letter to distinguish them from non-primitives. Would an acceptable
addendum to your naming pattern be to make the last letter of
primitives letters that reverse their natural pattern or maybe end in
a letter like p or P that reverses their pattern?
