Hello,

I've recently come across a new (to me) type naming convention and I'm 
curious about how extended it is.

I was aware of the

    Foo.Object -- where Foo is a package and Object is the type name

and

    Foos.Foo -- where Foos is a package and Foo is the type

and

    Foos.Bars -- where both packages and types are in plural

and

    Foo_Type -- where the enclosing package name is not used


This variant is

    Any_Foo -- enclosing package also not used

I've found only one example in the ARM in System.Any_Priority. I find I 
like better Any_Foo than Foo_Type, not sure why. I've had since I can 
remember an aversion for the _Type thing.

Anyway, just curious. Any champions of the Any_Foo in the readership?

Álex.
