FWIW, some of us still do this in C programs today. Having a relatively unique prefix for struct members makes it extremely easy to find uses of those members with relatively simple tools like cscope.

Heh, tools. I just put an "XX" on the front of a field I want to refactor and see what breaks.
Can't cscope tell you everywhere a given struct type is used?
