I would like to propose a tweak to the prefix convention.

Let's separate package and name of internal functions or variables with
two consecutive dashes.

There are some packages which implement that already, such as epg or cl.

In my opinion, this makes understanding code a lot easier and one does
know instantly whether a function or variable is safe for use by
external packages.
