It's dead because modern IDEs have stuff like "IntelliSense" that allow 
you to see a variable's type just by hovering the mouse over it. 
POV-Ray's IDE doesn't have such a feature.

It's also quite a common practice in POV-Ray to prefix function names 
with "f", texture variables with "t" or "tx", material variables with 
"m" or "mt", etc.

That said, I absolutely, positively agree that Hungarian notation should 
/not/ be forced on anyone - just like any other religion :-P

Always a good idea, whether using Hungarian notation or not.
