The C++ standard already reserves all the suffixes that don't start with 
an underscore for future normalization. I interpret that as: defining your 
own suffix k should print a warning instead of an error.

I don't believe this is worth changing (if the error message is readable 
enough) until there is a plan for actually using that suffix.
