Sure, but using a prefix or suffix for member variables is a common practice. Do you not do it?

Yes, although not universally. There are cases when no prefixes are needed.

Sure, but why should that stop us from trying to improve the cases where it is needed?

That's not what you suggested, at least not in that warnings part. As for the @@ syntax or whatever else, I really don't see the necessity in it - prefixes work quite well and don't complicate the language. If you really want to be explicit then this-> is a suitable alternative (and no, I don't think it's ugly - it's just a normal pointer dereference that you use everywhere).
