IMHO, that should be the standard practice. In all my modules, with the exception of Helpers, which acts as core extension (and I didn't intially write), that's the convention I follow.

It can look funny, though, if a module uses its own hook, which several of mine do. You can end up with "function foo_bar_foo_bar()".
