Underscores where?  I dislike StudlyCaps except for class names; I
dislike camelCase even more.  (NB. it's called "camel case" because of
the hump, not because of any association with a certain popular
scripting language with a fondness for bactrians.)

I think method and function names should always be lower_case.  Probably
stems from too much time on Unix and a strong distaste for C++, Java,
Microsoft APIs, and all that newfangled stuff.  Plus, Tom Christiansen
(he of Perl fame) once argued that lower_case identifiers are easier for
non-native English speakers to read than StudlyCaps or camelCase, which
sounds like a good excuse to me.
