It's one of "my" standards (among others); every variable "must" begin with "m.", even Field variables (even though Field variables are supposed to be "slower" when preceded with "m.").

I make extensive use of "text searching" and program conversion utilities (across files and directories); "m.O_App" insures I don't hit on "DO_Application", "NO_Apples", etc. when simply searching on "O_App", or missing the second occurance in the other case.

It's not for the compiler; it's only for me (and my utilities).
