There seems to be two standards, one which describes type: lpszString 
and one that defines function (sort of): instead of iOptions, it's fOptions.

You don't know how many times I've looked at a function signature, and 
seen fSomething on something that should receive bits and wondered why 
the hell they want a float, only to look a bit to the left and see that 
it is indeed an integer.
