Description Wenson Hsieh 2020-03-04 10:02:06 PST 
These are essentially unused, don’t provide much tangible benefit since there’s no platform agnostic code that reasons with any of these “abstract” types.

For CG, I would suggesting calling them something like this:

pathCG or immutableCGPath or cgPath
mutableCGPath
m_path or m_pathCG or m_cgPath

No abstract name for "what CG is", because the code that uses this will all be CG-specific.
Comment 2 Darin Adler 2020-03-04 19:54:34 PST 
Other possible naming would be m_underlyingPath
