Wait, sorry, no, this isn't right.
The leading "p" here is from the windows-style Hungarian notation,
trying to say this is a pointer. When really, we know this as the
compiler knows and enforces it, so there's no need to add it to the
name.
So this really should just be survey_para, right?
thanks,
