Why? What is the problem for which this would be a good solution?
Are you afraid that someone will create a function or variable
with prefix `my-', and that a user who uses that code will be
precluded from defining the same name, or that if s?he defines
another name that uses the same prefix s?he will be confused?
Did you encounter a real problem in this area?
