I also consider 'm' useful; but also I consider 'x' highly useful when 
used properly (i.e., only for UNO interfaces, making it easy to se which 
methodology of handling is for them), and also 'p' (for pointers), 'o' 
(newly introduced for optionals), and 'r' for references. This 
information is very handy at a glance, since you can tell if changing an 
'r' is expected to have effects elsewhere, and if some 'oString' is a 
string or just "maybe a string".
