There exist cases:

1. Formal generic types. They are customarily named XXX_Type.

2. Types which are artifacts of language issues or of design. These have 
no separate problem space meaning and thus no meaningful name. E.g.

    type Something is ...;
    type Something_Ptr is access Something;
       -- I don't want access type, I am required to have it 


BTW, this includes all sorts of helper types Ada kept introducing recently.
