Drew has a point. How about we wait until there's some instance of the problem
in the wild that needs us to document such a convention? There's been a lot of
time for this to become an issue, and it hasn't yet.
Even then, it would only ever be a convention: we can't stop authors from
naming their symbols however they want -- except for those that are proposed
to Emacs or ELPA, where a "my-" prefix would already raise the necessary
eyebrows.
