Hm. I'd prefer a consistent rule for the complete code base because code tends to move between daemons and the library. Personally, I don't think that name clashes between HIPL code and other code will ever be a big problem which is why I'm not a big fan of hip_ (which should be hipl_, anyway) but then that's just my gut feeling. But this is nothing too important - I'm fine with any rule, including the one you suggest above. As soon as HACKING is updated, I'll update the code in my branches, too.
