I thought it was horrible when I started, but now when looking at somebody
else's C++ code I find it very hard to work out whether something is a
global, a member or a local variable, unless they use some sort of naming
convention.

If you alias self as "s", it's only two more characters per variable access,
which is the same as the C++ "m_" naming convention.
