I agree with what Eric says, and I would also like to say that changing
symbols like `_textmode' to `al__textmode' is very ugly, confusing, and
not at all sensible given that underscores usually run together in most
fonts. I would suggest this:

 symbol_name           ->   al_symbol_name
 _symbol_name          ->   _al_symbol_name
 STRUCT_NAME           ->   AL_STRUCT_NAME
 _STRUCT_NAME          ->   _AL_STRUCT_NAME

This also means that we stick to the rule of `private' symbols being
prefixed with an underscore.

Bye for now,
