I should point out that leading-and-trailing-double-underscore names are
reserved for use by the language.
Right... I completely missed that. I will try to change the habit.
I am under impression that a function with no underscore in name is
meant to be called "publicly" on instance, like Foo().nostat, a function
with one underscore (and no trailing underscores) is meant to be like
"it's mostly intended for internal use, but you can still call it",
somewhat like "protected" in C++, and a function with two leading
underscores (and no trailing underscores) is meant as completely
internal to the class, not meant to be called by outsiders, somewhat
like "private" in C++ (I abstract from obvious point in C++ that
semantics of those keywords is enforced by a compiler in C++).
Is that correct?

mk
