Thanks, Dmitry, Luciano and Parker, but I'll stick with the KGr prefix
for now.  It's an old programming habit that has served me well in
organising my work and my rather messy real-world desktop ... :-)

I  guess it goes back to a project more than 40 years ago where each
programmer *had* to use a unique 3-letter prefix on every name in his
assembly language code, because the whole system was assembled
and built from one source-code "file" (or card-deck actually) ... :-O
