Guido usually uses underscores instead; other authors don't.

It's unusually common in the operator module:  countOf, indexOf, isCallable,
isMappingType, isNumberType, isSequenceType, sequenceIncludes.

If you really believe there's an objective reason, and that you can convince
the author they were wrong, feel encouraged to find the author via CVS and
engage them in productive debate <wink>.
