Extension Coding Conventions

Extension classes will need their own member variables and methods, and to avoid classes overwriting the attributes of other classes the following naming scheme should be used:

• Each extension module should select a prefix, typically the same as the module name unless that it very unwieldy.
• All member variables and methods used and defined by an extension class should begin with the prefix.
• An exception: methods are allowed to begin with get_ or set_ followed by the prefix.
