But I'd like to also see others agree with this.

I agree - not that I've contributed any code, mind you, but I do read
bits of it from time to time.

However if qemu is ever made into a library used by other
applications, i.e. libqemu.a or libqemu.so, then you might decide
application-visible functions should have the prefix

I'm tempted to say "When wrapping or providing functionality that could easily 
be confused with standard library functions [...]".

I'm not going to argue either way though.

Not sure what "standard library functions" includes but I think the
qemu prefix should be allowed whenever one needs to wrap external
code blocks into qemu.

I don't feel very strongly about this though. I can call my stuff
wrap_xxx if I need to :)

That was the intent.

A downside of a formal coding style document is that people start 
lawyering about it.  Common sense can still be applied, if there is a 
use case that is similar to what is described, surely qemu_ can still hold.
