I would have guidelines rather than a standard here. I would avoid the
use of _p unless you do decide to standardize on this (which seems
very dubious to me). The use of _p is simply not intuitive.
Perhaps, but it was the earliest conventions used in GCC to distinguish
predicates (where the term doesn't have the technical MD file meaning), so
most follow this "rule". This is from LISP conventions and RMS was the
origin of its use.
