| 	Hungarian notation is not a sufficient feature to guarantee that 
| this will happen, but it is a stylistic aid that programers can use 

The way I understand it, the hungarian notation is most useful for the
original writer who hasn't looked at his code for a while, or a maintenance
programmer.  When reading the code, rather than flipping back to the
declaration block repeatedly, you know what each variable is by its name.
