Stylistic suggestions for posting on other languages

Post subject:  Stylistic suggestions for posting on other languages

As we have but a single forum for the discussion of languages not specifically mentioned elsewhere, keeping posts organized is quite important.

Might I suggest that all posts concerning other languages be prepended with the name of the language in square brackets like the following example?

code:
[Pascal] resources?


Further, each of the languages with their own forums each have separate forums for tutorials, questions, etc. I would recommend the following style for such posts in this forum.

code:
[Ruby-tut] A tutorial on some aspect of Ruby
[Eiffel-prog] An Eiffel program submitted
[O'Caml-tip] A tip relating to the Objective Caml language


Questions I think can be easily enough identified by a question mark at the end.

Any thoughts on this suggestion?

personally I'd go with
code:

[Ruby][Tutorial] title

but w/e, both are good

I thought of that too, but didn't want the prefix to be too long.
