To me the benefit would be that the name you write as the argument would be *exactly* the identifier it represents. If you have to manually add a prefix, there's room for a bit of confusion, especially if the prefix itself ends with an underscore. E.g. if the identifier is "__init__" and the prefix is "PyID_", do you write "PyID__init__" (two underscores) or "PyID___init__" (three underscores?) And can you easily spot the difference in your editor? -- Greg
