Just to add to the confusing terminology, in some circles mixed case with an
initial lowercase letter is called camelCase, while mixed case with initial
uppercase is called PascalCase. :-)

In any case ;-) Mark is referring to both forms, WithInitialCapital and
withoutInitialCapital.

The initial capital letter actually has significance in Prothon (I
think--unless that has changed). So the question is whether to use
NamesLikeThis and namesLikeThis, or Names_like_this and names_like_this.
