Fixed prefixes also make a codebase significantly more grep-able. Want to find the definition of the function named `foobar`? Search `fn foobar` and that will always match, no regex required.

Only if you use a code formatter (which you should) because otherwise there will be some 'fn foobar'(two spaces or more) just to annoy you..
