I think it's a fairly common practice. I tend to use `my-` for that
purpose, hoping that there's a chance we can avoid having someone write
a package that uses this `my-` prefix, whereas it seems unlikely that
noone will ever write a package that uses a prefix which conflicts
with someone's initials.
Maybe we should officially declare the `my-` prefix as reserved for the
end-user.

When distributing code for other people to use, such a "personal prefix"
should be replaced with something else, indeed.
