I appreciate the effort, Teemu, but I don't think it needs explicit
documentation. The only package that could conceivably use "my-" as a prefix
would have to be called "my", otherwise it's in violation of other Emacs
coding standards. At that point, a user who uses such a "my" package can
either choose not to (to preserve the "my-" namespace for themselves), or
request that the author change its name.
