[TYPO3-mvc] naming issue: prefixedExtensionKey vs argumentNamespace vs prefix vs designator

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi Bastian,

in piBase it's called prefixId, and it could be used as it's well known.
It was called prefix as it was used like a prefix with building urls, like
$this->pi_getPageLink($GLOBALS['TSFE']->id, '', array(
    $this->prefixId . '[preset]' => $this->piVars['preset']
)

It's not the extKey but the name of the class. So Id as short of 
Identifier matches it best

I don't know any official name for Url arrays.
