There is no more information because there are no rules for those. So you 
should follow the general rule for any variable and member name.

The m_nameOfVariable syntax isn't used because Qt doesn't have member 
variables in the public classes. They are located almost exclusively in 
the private classes, so they are accessed as d->nameOfVariable.
