[AppDB] naming convention

[Jonathan Ernst]

As discussed with Chris and others on IRC we'd like to use a new variable naming convention in AppDB code.

The proposed scheme is the following ("hungarian notation"):

handles: $hSomeHandle
integer: $iSomeInteger
objects: $oSomeObject
arrays: $aSomeArray
strings: $sSomeString
and so on.

constants will still be uppercase without prefix.

Do someone object this ?

If we really have to. And if you both think it's a good idea I'll use
it. It's better than the original idea ($str_foo). And no one doing
if($sFoo) instead of if(isset($sFoo)) anymore.

But what to do with conversions of types we often do. Do we have to
rename on the fly?

What type of conversion do we need if we don't use strings and integer
as booleans but rather use if(isset($variable)) instead ?

The only implicit conversion I see is when we do:

echo "There are $iSomeInteger maintainers";

but that's not a problem I think.
