I am glad you are willing to spend time on this, Gianluigi. Thank you.


May I suggest that you distinguish the naming conventions that are actually supported by the IDE from those that are not? This 
could be done simply with an asterisk and a footnote.

Thanks to the tip from BruceS, I found the location of the function that checks the validity of variable prefixes (which answers 
Martin's original question). It is the 'TYPE_check_prefix' function at line 172 of gbc_type.c.

There appear to be eleven prefixes currently supported by the IDE. Benoît has listed eight at http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/naming.

The three not listed are:
p = Pointer
v = Variant
r = Result
