Should one use *names* like in Common Lisp?
Definitely not :-)
Indeed, * In some other systems there is a convention of choosing variable names that begin and end with `*'. We don't use that convention in Emacs Lisp, so please don't use it in your programs. (Emacs uses such names only for special-purpose buffers.) The users will find Emacs more coherent if all libraries use the same conventions. (info "(elisp)Coding Conventions") -- Johan Bockgård
