What is the naming convention for fields added to a standard CDS view via custom extension?

SAP didn't include an underlying database table field to the interface view I want to reuse for my custom consumption view.

I can easily add it extending the standard CDS, but I'm afraid a future release will include this field and create a conflict if they use the same name than me. Traditionally the prefix ZZ was used for append structure fields in the data dictionary.

Should I follow the same approach for a CDS extension? I was not able to find a document about this.

In the SAP press book Core Data Services for ABAP (written by Renzo Colle, Ralf Dentzer, Jan Hrastnik) from 2018 they recommend using the customer namespace or ZZ as a prefix to custom fields. This avoids possible naming collisions.
