It is news to me ;-).

    $ git grep '[^_]PREFIX[^_]'

does not have any hits in the source, so I do not see how we _could_
be paying any attention to such a thing.

The description seems to originate at

  https://github.com/progit2-ms/progit2/commit/c24f22d6a6b0572f5756afd64f0c2e9fa6f804fa

that was more than 10 years old.  I do not know how reliable the
description there is.
