I use that to indicate a global variable.

Yes.

And public symbols never follows this convention, but the "Pascal" 
convention, i.e. "ThisIsASymbolName". An underscore prefix means an 
hidden symbol.

Fabien's wiki page is similar, but this is just my convention, it is not 
actually mandatory.

It is just that things must be readable other people than just you, as 
it is an example.

If you have done something bad, I will tell you and you will change (or 
I will change if it is too complex). That's all. Nothing to worry about.

As a summary, I would say that an example is not a quick & dirty way of 
doing thing (which I can do like everyone).
