FWIW, the first three violate the rules, at least for C, regarding
which identifiers are reserved for the implementation as opposed to
identifiers available for the developer. C reserves identifiers
beginning with a single underscore and a capital letter, or with two
underscores, for the implementation. By those rules, I could
legitimately expect to use a variable named "mpe" or "MPE" in my
program, and would be unpleasantly surprised when it didn't work. It
might be worth checking the C++ spec for compliance; I'd do it myself,
but I don't have a current copy.
