Well, having worked in monocased languages, I find that
the biggest problem with them is the inability to tell where
word breaks are without a clue. Capitalization is one such
clue, underscores are another. The hyphens you find all over
COBOL programs are a third. All of these suffer from the
ambiguity problem you mention.

The best solution I know of for the ambiguity problem is to
create a lexicon for a system rather than simply creating names
as they swim up from the depths of the creative unconcious.
