Beginning secret library routines with a capital letter has been used
here for a long time, and seems to work. For example, our graphics package
uses G (Ginit, Gclose, etc.). Obviously it's a good idea for package
writers to pick a letter not used by any packagesl likely to be linked
together with the package being created.
