Ah, OK, that explains things.

Though this raises a related issue: as I understand it currently modules must 
never refer to any Qxxx symbols (other than Qnil), since these symbols may have 
different values in different Emacs implementations.  And this includes any 
macros or inline functions the modules may invoke.  For example, a module must 
never call 'functionp', since 'functionp' is an inline function that refers to Qt.

This is something that needs to be fixed, surely.  And once we have a fix for 
it, perhaps the fix will mean that we don't need that "M" prefix.
