[Mono-list] allow mono to be embedded into c++ applications

[Piers Haken]

Beware: names prefixed with underscores are reserved for the compiler
and standard library.

I'd suggest another method.

Piers.

To avoid namespace conflicts (such as this), and possible shadowing
issues, function parameter names in prototypes should either be omitted
(my personal
preference) or prefixed with N number of underscores (I think two is
what I usually see).  Lying about the names is wrong, and a good linter
or even compiler will complain that parameter names aren't consistent in
prototype and declaration :)
