    Prefer 'a_' prefix to '_' suffix for formal arguments
    
    It is generally better to avoid decorating arguments at all. In cases
    where decoration improves clarity, e.g.:
      foo::foo(int max) : max(max) ...
    an 'a_' prefix may reluctantly be used. Never use a '_' suffix to
    distinguish arguments: that is reserved for member variables.
    
    As long as the '_' suffix is used for all data members and never used
    for any other purpose, the example above is naturally written thus:
      foo::foo(int max) : max_(max) ...
    and one would never think of writing any 'a_' prefix.
