Drop namespace prefixes - /clean/ /dirty/ etc.

No objections. :-)

Apart from SAP, everyone must prefix or use the Y / Z name space.
So without the prefixes, the examples look less real word to me.

@nomssi , good point, but this is understandable as it started out for internal use by people who aren't bound by those restrictions.

Do you mean less real world than with the /clean/ prefix? I can also agree it looks a bit odd because we're all used to having classes prefixed with (z)cl_, so my brain looks for cl_message_severity. But that's being discouraged by this very guide too.

The ABAP reference books and ABAP documentation don't use 'Z', so to me it still looks natural. And it is valid for all non-dictionary objects, us mortals can write this in reports and local classes :-)

The style options would be:

1. CLASS message_severity.
2. CLASS zmessage_severity.
3. CLASS cl_message_severity.
4. CLASS zcl_message_severity.
5. CLASS /clean/message_severity.

3 and 4 are closest to what we're used to, but are discouraged. I'm not too fussed between 1 and 2, but 1 is that tiny bit simpler and emphasises the 'use descriptive names' point a little bit better.

ok, the hungarian notian is something I hate since I joined the language. So clean ABAP says noone need it and I'm absolutely with it. So in my opinion we should go for number 2.
